Attempted ATM Theft by Incompetent Criminal

Queensland Police have released CCTV of an attempted ATM theft at a Townsville petrol station on Tuesday evening. The footage shows a stolen 1997 white Holden Rodeo ute pulling up to the service station. The man exits the car, throws a concrete block at the door, using what appears to be a mallet to smash in the final pieces. He then grabs a long, metal chain and heads inside to rig it to the ATM. But little does he know, the chain breaks, leaving the ute attached to ... nothing. Completely oblivious, he gets in the ute, and pulls away ... with nothing. Later, he returns to the scene of the crime and attempts theft number two, but the chain is too short and after a moment's thought, surrenders the mission.
