Vishal Sharma, the store owner, says the suspects broke into his store and attempted to steal the ATM, but they fled after failing to steal it.

Sharma is frustrated.

"Well, I don't know. I have to be here at the store, we have to deal with the customers, but everyone's going to see the damage so it effects the business. It effects the community...it's not a good feeling," he said.

Sharma also says a dispensary was broken into last week on the same street.
