NBC 7’s Elena Gomez shows the damage left behind by the attempted theft at the CVS along Black Mountain Road in Rancho Penasquitos.
Two men attempted to pull an ATM from inside a Rancho Penasquitos store Wednesday using a heavy chain and a pickup truck.
The pharmacy is located near Twin Trail Drive and Black Mountain Road just north of State Route 56.
Two men riding in a pickup truck forced the front door open just after 4 a.m. and then backed the truck up to the door, police said.
The men then wrapped a chain around the ATM and pulled on the machine, knocking down a Coinstar kiosk next to it.
The would-be burglars left the ATM and ditched the pickup truck off the SR-56 and Black Mountain Road, police said.
