Two-time ATM in Vienna-Floridsdorf: Police determined

Another incident took off the Viennese population on Friday night: an ATM was blown up in the Trillerpark shopping center in Vienna-Floridsdorf. This explosion followed only one day after a similar act, in which an ATM on Brünner Strasse was attacked. The police apparently see a trend in connection with organized crime.

The explosion in the triller park occurred around 2:50 a.m. Unknown perpetrators used explosives to chase the machine up. The police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger said that there is "probably" a connection to the previous day's incident. At that time, an ATM had been blown up in front of a bank branch. The police are now investigating this series.

Investigations and perpetrators

After the explosion, three unknown men fled into unknown directions. The police have not yet published Details on the possible prey. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office has started the investigation and is now looking for witnesses. People who may have seen something striking are asked to report on 01-31310-33800. Anonymized information is also welcome.

The security authorities increase vigilance in the region due to these incidents to prevent further escalation. The repeated explosions promote concern because they not only represent a financial loss, but also affect the feeling of security of the citizens. The investigators strive to grasp the perpetrators quickly and to clarify the background of these criminal activities.
