Thieves' attempt to steal ATM from Queensland petrol station backfires

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

According to a police report, the bungling pair parked a new model Land Rover at the rear of the building before gaining access to the store.

CCTV footage goes on to show 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.
