The Sheriff's Office of Ozark County, Missouri, is on the lookout for two men who allegedly attempted to steal an ATM. Deputies arrived on the scene at a Stockmens Bank branch in Gainesville when they saw an ATM that had been broken and left on the road, according to a report by KY 3.

Sheriff Cass Martin said the two individuals used a stolen truck to remove the machine, but it wasn't strong enough to drive away with the ATM, so they left it at the scene. He believes this may be the work of a larger organized group.

"There is a group from the south located in Dallas, Texas, that has kind of moved up this direction. They've moved from state to state, kind of hitting low-security areas and low-security banks trying to steal ATMs. Some have been successful and some not so successful," Martin said in the report.
