The man parked his burgundy 2004 Grand Vitara XL7 wagon with no plates in front of a Bernard St supermarket about 3.30am.
He jemmied open the front door and then used an angle grinder to break into the ATM, which was inside the front door. The man fled empty-handed when police arrived.
He is described as in his 40s wearing shorts, a yellow fluoro top and a camouflage pattern floppy hat.
Police have released CCTV footage of a man they wish to interview.
