Thieves attempted to steal an ATM on Christmas Eve by dragging it through the front of a Texas<\/a> convenience store with a stolen SUV and a metal cable, but the machine broke free as they fled, police said.<\/p>\n

The White Settlement Police Department posted footage of two suspects towing an ATM through the front glass doors of a 7-Eleven in Fort Worth before driving away.<\/p>\n

The failed heist happened just before 4 a.m. Wednesday and may be connected to a string of similar convenience store crimes reported across North Texas in recent weeks, police said.<\/p>\n

Investigators are asking<\/a> for the public\u2019s help identifying the suspects as they attempt to determine whether the incident is part of a broader crime pattern.<\/p>\n
