ATM in Medebach blown up: perpetrators on the run!

in Medebach, in the Oberschledorn district, unknown perpetrators hunted an ATM with two explosives! The enormous property damage to the small building is devastating and the police investigation are in full swing. An expert from the technical relief organization (THW) has already examined the ruin, and although the building is not acutely at risk of collapse, demolition is likely. "This is a heavy blow to the Sparkasse," comments a spokesman for the bank.

happiness in misfortune: no injuries!

The Sparkasse Hochsauerland and the Volksbank operated the machine together, but luckily there were no injuries. Carsten Klauke from the Sparkasse emphasizes: "Thank God the building of the building where the machine was standing, we would have long since taken it out of operation." A little consolation in a dramatic incident!

Alarming trend reversal for ATM sprinkles

The police used a helicopter at night, but the perpetrators escaped undetected. Interestingly, the number of ATMs in North Rhine-Westphalia has dropped to 32 this year, which is about 100 less than in previous years. The NRW Ministry of the Interior attributes this to successful prevention measures, such as the use of color cartridges that make the money unusable. But October brings a worrying turn: several explosions have already been reported this month, including in cities such as Cologne and Bottrop. It remains unclear whether the perpetrators could make prey in their crime.
