ATMAFLOTION in Köpenick: Perpetrators flee after a failed coup!

In the night of December 9, 2024, unknown perpetrators in Köpenick tried to blow up an ATM. According to reports from berlin.de , the men penetrated into a shopping center in the Pablo-neruda-Straße at around 2.20 a.m. After leaving the entrance doors, they manipulated an ATM in a bank branch in a bank branch. However, there was no actual explosion because the suspects fled before they could implement their plans. A specialist commissioner of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation and is looking for further information on the perpetrators.

The frequency of such incidents already affects the availability of cash on ATMs. As FOCUS.de have reported more and more banks, in particular savings banks and Volksbanken in rural areas, Your machines sealed off at night. Customers can often not withdraw cash between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., which is seen as a response to the increasing number of slot machines after 2021, in which over 390 cases were documented. These security measures should protect citizens from possible raids during the night hours and the risk that uninvolved people will be violated in an attack.

The perpetrators use highly explosive fabrics in their alleged explosions to steal the cash tapes, with prey possible of up to 100,000 euros per act. In view of the danger that such actions bring with it, banks and the Federal Association of German Banks decide to extend the machines of the machines. In addition to bank branches, consumers can also withdraw cash at certain petrol stations, such as Shell and Aral, but these offers are often associated with fees, which makes them unattractive for many customers.
