Police could not immediately provide information as to how the machine was destroyed nor if -- or how much -- money may have been stolen.

But, a website for that Fast Cash ATM had the terminal listed as "temporarily closed" on Monday.

This is the latest in a string of ATM vandalism in Philadelphia over the past few years. Just last month, debris was found strewn yards away after an ATM was destroyed in Chestnut Hill.
