Thieves' Attempt to Steal ATM From Queensland Gas Station Backfires

Two men caused severe damage to a service station in Kilcoy, Queensland, while attempting to steal from an ATM on February 19.

Security footage released by the Queensland Police Service shows the two suspects breaking into a gas station on Hope Street. According to a police report, they parked a new model Land Rover at the rear of the building before gaining access to the store.

The video shows one of the men attaching a chain from their vehicle to the ATM. They then try to rip the ATM from the wall by driving the Land Rover at speed. However, the chain snaps during both of their attempts, forcing the would-be thieves to flee empty-handed.
