No luck for a would be thief early Wednesday, November 8, in High River.

RCMP say they were called out around 1:30 Wednesday morning when the alarms at The Source started going off.

Once there they found one window smashed in, and the door locks damaged.

Video footage shows a ski mask wearing suspect breaking the window and hammering the door locks with a sledge hammer, but he was turned back by the store's security bars.

Police say the suspect fled the scene in an unknown model dark coloured four door car.
