DETROIT (WWJ) - Thieves tried to make an unauthorized withdrawal from a Detroit ATM -- the hard way.

The incident happened early Thursday morning at the Chase Bank on 8 Mile Road just east of the Southfield Freeway.

One or more suspect tried to break into one of the bank's drive-up ATMs. They destroyed the machine, leaving debris all over the parking lot -- but no money was stolen.
