An ATM worker set the bag down, seeming to forget it as he and a coworker drove away.

Minutes later two men drive up in a van and grab the cash.

The driver was arrested last month. Officials just found the second suspect at a motel in Newark.

Police say the ATM workers were not involved in the theft.
