Bomb at the hairdressing salon: Cologne businessman is fighting for normality!

On Wednesday on Wednesday there was a spectacular ATM blast in Cologne-Mülheim directly in front of the "world hairdresser"! At 2:30 a.m., residents heard a deafening bang and saw smoke rising. Unknowns had dared to have the ATM blow on Frankfurter Strasse! The incidents left chaos - the window front of the hairdressing salon, the door of an adjacent kiosk was literally torn out.

A picture of horror was offered to the hairdresser representative Rebaz Abbas, who was in front of the shattered remains of his business after the call. "The whole street was cordoned off, blue lights everywhere," he recalls. The explosion had nothing to do with the last dramatic incidents between rival -to -do drug gangs in Cologne, but the shock sits deep and makes a quiet night's sleep impossible. Around 15,000 euros damage to the business - a real nightmare!

police on the hunt for perpetrators

The perpetrators in question fled in a black combination, and now the police are in search of the criminals who seem to escape without prey. Abbas is pleased that his salon quickly opened again and that the insurance takes over the damage. But socializing is in short supply: "So many things had to be reorganized, everything is just crazy," says Abbas.

North Rhine-Westphalia has taken strict measures against ATM blasts. The Soko Begas reports of a decline in the explosive deeds, from 182 to 153 in 2023. But the temptation to get large money sums is still seductive, and many machines are well secured, but well secured means not impossible.
