A man entered an open lobby area of the business and tried to drill and pry open an ATM while a woman acted as a lookout.
He made repeated attempts to pry open the ATM but failed, say Halton police.
The man then attached a towing strap to a pick-up truck and made several more attempts to rip the ATM open.
The pair spent more than an hour and eventually left in the vehicle empty-handed.
The ATM is a total loss, say investigators, and is valued at approximately $2,500.
Detectives from the 1 District criminal investigations bureau quickly identified the suspects as a husband and wife duo living in Milton.
They were arrested on June 12 and 13 without incident.
James Matthew Tingley, 46, and Tina Louis Tingley, 33, are facing charges of: theft under $5,000; mischief under $5,000; and possession of burglary tools.
They were released on a promise to appear and are scheduled in Milton court on July 16.
