NORTH HIGHLANDS — A bold and embarrassing botched ATM heist has the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office concerned and searching for two suspects.  

It happened early Wednesday morning at a Safe Credit Union along the 4600 block of Watt Avenue.

Two suspects remain at large. One suspect operated a forklift to knock down the ATM and lift it up while the second suspect drove a white pick-up truck as their getaway car, the sheriff's office said Saturday.

During their escape, the ATM fell off the truck onto Watt Avenue. Both suspects fled the scene.

"They knew everything involved, and still no fear of jail, no fear of getting caught, and just did it," said Amar Gandhi with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. "And that's the bigger picture that again, we should all be a little more concerned about."

No money was stolen from the machine.

SAFE Credit Union released a statement saying their customers' security is their top priority and they're taking precautions to ensure account information is safe. 

Anyone who may have information about the incident is asked to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office.
