Hazyview - Police are looking for a group of men who tried to rob a bank by blowing up an ATM machine on the night of September 3.
The men left empty-handed when the explosives failed to rip open the machine, which belonged to the Standard Bank at Masoyi shopping complex near Hazyview in Mpumalanga.
"But, the damage to the building was extensive," said superintendent Mtsholi Bhembe of Lowveld area police on Tuesday.
He said police were investigating charges of malicious damage to property, unlawful possession of explosives and causing an explosion.
