Exercise attempt to ATM in Wedel: Two bank employees injured!

In a shocking incident in Wedel, Pinneberg district, strangers apparently tried to break an ATM in a supermarket car park. During the deflection, which happened when two bank employees wanted to fill up with the machine with banknotes, the two suffered minor injuries and had to be taken to the hospital. Investigators of the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) assume targeted manipulation and are currently checking which substance was used for the explosion. A deflection is usually triggered when gas ignites, which also complicates the investigation.

The security situation regarding ATMs has increased significantly in recent years, since it has already been blasting in Schleswig-Holstein in the past five years, causing damage in millions. The LKA and the ordnance clearing service have now examined the machine, and further Details on this incident will soon be published reports www.ndr.de .
