Berkeley police are investigating a robbery attempt over the weekend at a [North Berkeley](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/north-berkeley/) ATM in the bustling Shattuck Avenue business corridor.

Police said the woman, an Emeryville resident in her 30s, was at the ATM at 1480 Shattuck Ave. (at Vine Street near Safeway) when two strangers approached her Saturday shortly after 9 a.m.

The Scanner learned after publication that the woman was a mother holding her baby at the time of the robbery attempt. (This story was updated to include that information.)

The pair demanded the woman's property.

Seeing no weapons, she refused and the young men fled the scene, [Berkeley police](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) said.

As of this week, BPD said it remains an active robbery investigation. No arrests have been made.
