After briefly fumbling around in an attempt to open it, he is then shot hitting it with his bin, before feebly kicking and pushing it.
When his attempts to break into the cabinet failed, the man rushed out of the store with his partner, both empty-handed.
The raid happened at around 1.05am on Tuesday May 2.
