Later that morning around 4:45 a.m, the same vehicle was spotted at Festival Market Place on Ontario Street. They tried to remove the ATM machine from the Neighbourhood Credit Union, at one of the mall entrances, but were unsuccessful in their attempt. 

Then the next morning, around 4:25 a.m, they tried to hit up the same Sobey's store again. Once again they were frightened off by employees in the store.
