ATM blast in Vienna: Group of perpetrators strikes again!

On Sunday morning there was a spectacular Auchomatic protrusion in Vienna-Donaustadt, in which a suspect was shot by the police. The man was then admitted to the Floridsdorf hospital for emergency surgery. According to reports from Krone , the police were able to react quickly due to the already active safety precautions for the Vienna Marathon, in which over 45,000 runners were expected. The perpetrators had tried to hit the Bank Austria on Vorgartenstrasse and were stopped by the police during their escape attempt.

While the perpetrators tried to break a blockade with a vehicle, several shots were found. At least one perpetrator was shot in this argument. Investigations have shown that the criminal group mainly consists of Dutch explosive masters with Moroccan roots and is already responsible for a wave of ATM boards in Austria. This criminal group, known as the "ATM MAFIA", has been demonstrably carried out in recent months.

The Austrian authorities are faced with an alarming increase in ATM boards. Since the beginning of the year, 14 explosions have been recorded in several federal states, including Lower Austria, Burgenland and Upper Austria. Over the past year, there were only 13 cases, which indicates that the number of explosions could exceed the previous records this year. The report of Kosmo shows that these explosions often take place in the early morning, usually between three and four o'clock.

Overall, over 1000 explosive crimes in Europe are attributed to the group, which are caused by poorly fake bombs with black powder. The flight is often carried out with stolen Audi vehicles. Authorities such as the Austrian police have set up a special unit called "Soko ATM" in order to combat these serious crimes more effectively. The head of the unit, Dieter CSEFEN, made it clear that the threat from these criminals is real and plans to introduce new methods to combat the wave of ATM boards.

security measures and follow

The difficulties in combating these crimes are also attributed to the adjustments to the perpetrator strategies. This group shows little consideration for adjacent buildings during its actions, which leads to great damage to property, as reported by orf . The focus on these criminal activities remains a major challenge for the Austrian police, while at the same time they have to guarantee the security of citizens.
