Mounties in the town of McLennan, Alta. are hoping members of the public can help them identify two men who tried to steal a bank machine from the local ATB Financial.
On Monday evening, police shared several images of the men, each with their face covered, appearing to smash the front door and wrap a tow strap around the machine.
Police were called to the bank at 5:15 a.m. on May 24, but the news release didn't specify why the theft attempt failed.
One of the men was wearing orange coveralls with yellow straps, a purple or blue ball cap with Toronto Raptors logo and a dark long-sleeve shirt and gloves.
He is described as having short, almost-shaven hair and a light complexion.
He had a patterned bandana covering his face, was carrying a sledge hammer and was wearing black and white sneakers or work boots.
The other man was wearing a camo ball cap and had a dark mask covering his face. He had dark hair that was cut short and a light to medium skin complexion.
He was also wearing a blue jacket, dark pants, gloves and winter boots
Police are asking anyone with security footage or dash-camera video of the area from 5 to 6 a.m. that day to check it for any relevant images.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to call McLennan RCMP at 780-324-3061 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8377 (TIPS).
McLennan is about 430 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
