LOGAN (AP) — An ATM spit out free cash for anyone making a deposit — with an empty slip.

Police say Deseret First Credit Union of Logan didn't catch on to the problem for months while three women netted $25,000 in supposed deposits credited to their accounts from April 22 and July 7.

North Park Sgt. John Italasano says the sisters, all in their 30s, didn't even have to complete a transaction. Instead, they hit a cancel button after inserting a deposit envelope, but the machine credited their accounts anyway.

Italasano called it a computer glitch. The Deseret First Credit Union wasn't open Saturday to provide a more detailed explanation.

One of the sisters pleaded guilty Tuesday to three counts of theft.
