A second attempt was made to steal an ATM from Eastview IGA in less than a week.
A red Ford F350 pickup truck smashed through the doors at about 3:15 a.m. on Thursday, say Red Deer RCMP. Two male passengers wearing face coverings tried to steal an ATM, but were unsuccessful.
The truck was reported stolen out of Red Deer on Monday and was recovered abandoned in the Clearview neighbourhood shortly after the break-in.
On Sunday at 5 a.m., two men reversed a truck through the doors of the Eastview IGA. Two men wearing hoods, and with their faces covered, tried but failed to steal the ATM at the front of the store.
The badly damaged truck was last seen fleeing eastbound on 39th Street.
RCMP have not determined if the second attempt was committed by the same suspects and continue to investigate.
