Despite heavy damage to the machine, the would-be thieves were unable to get to any of the cash inside, the sheriff's department said.
A resident in the area told KTLA that the explosion could be heard from more than a mile away, and there were several windows of nearby shops that had their windows blown out.
There was no immediate threat to any residents in the neighborhood, the Sheriff's Department said, adding that an investigation is ongoing.
