PALM BEACH, Fla., Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Authorities said they are searching for a man who dressed as a ninja who attempted to steal two ATMs in Florida.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said security cameras recorded footage of the man, described as heavyset with a noticeable pot belly, attempting to steal an ATM Dec. 29 outside Colonial Bank, the Palm Beach Post reported Monday.

Barbera said security cameras outside a Walgreens recorded the man, whose black ninja costume revealed only his eyes, attempting to steal another ATM Tuesday.

The spokeswoman said she does not know the method the ninja-clad man used to try to steal the ATMs, but both attempts were unsuccessful.
