Robbers were left empty handed after stealing a cash machine from a supermarket.
This incident happened at around 11.25pm on Sunday 13 March, when two vehicles approached Booths supermarket on Hala Road, Lancaster.
A number of thieves then got out and started to smash the glass surrounding the cash machine before attaching a strap to it.
They pulled it entirely out of its frame before making their getaway in what has been described as a white Transit van and a hatchback type vehicle.
However, the offenders were denied a big score because the machine was empty.
Detective Sergeant Colin Forsyth said: “This offence shows some degree of planning and determination and the offenders were clearly intent on getting away with this cash machine.
“Unfortunately for them, it didn’t contain any money at the time.
“We would appeal for any witnesses who saw any suspicious activity or similar vehicles in the area around the time of the offence, or anybody who has information regarding this incident, to contact police.”
Anybody with any information should contact police on 01524 63333 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
