Unsuccessful attempt to rob ATM due to vehicle oversize

In local news, the police is still on the lookout for a thief that attempted an unusual robbery on Sunday morning. The man used a stolen front-loader to try and drag out the National Bank ATM in a mall in Pointe aux Trembles. The botched robbery failed because the vehicle was too big and got stuck inside, according to Montreal police Constable Olivier Lapointe. Although the damages are estimated to reach thousands of dollars, nothing was stolen. The picture was taken by Dave Sidaway for The Gazette.
