ATM in Gützkow blown up: Police chases fleeting perpetrators!

In a dramatic incident in Gützkow, Landkreis Vorpommern-Greifswald, unknown perpetrators have blown up an ATM in the early morning and have been fleeing since then! The Anklam police inspection immediately initiated extensive search measures after a witness has observed the alleged perpetrators in a black vehicle. The hunt for the criminals is in full swing!

no explosives found - but the street remains closed!

The federal road 111 was widely diverted due to ammunition recovery work. Fortunately, no explosives were found during a first check, but the blocking of the street could still continue for a while. The exact circumstances of the crime are still unclear: how much money the perpetrators have captured and how high the total damage is for the time being a mystery.

Again and again there are such spectacular ATM blasts in Germany. In Hamburg there was last a failed attempt in the star hill in August. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, the methods of criminals have changed drastically in recent years. While gas or gas mixtures were mostly used in 2019, the perpetrators now use fixed explosive substances in about 90 percent of the cases. The search for the fleeting perpetrators remains exciting!
