Video captured one incident on the 3600 block of West Chicago Avenue in Humboldt Park last month.

Burglars smashed a window to reach the ATM inside the business, police said. The suspects then broke the ATM open but didn't get any money.

Another attempt happened at a business further west in the 4800 block of West Chicago Avenue in Austin, but they were also unsuccessful at that location.

Chicago police continue to investigate the burglaries.
