Posted: Friday, February 2, 2018 12:00 am

A group of bandits was indicted this week for trying to “jackpot” an ATM in Baytown. 

On Dec. 21, three men sought to rob the Amegy Bank ATM in the 1200 block of Garth Road by way of “jackpotting,” which involves installing malware to force the machine to spit out its payload.
