Gang at work again
Offenders target another ATM in Vienna
Perpetrators have once again tampered with an ATM in Vienna in order to get their hands on loot. On Wednesday night, they tried to get cash by blowing up a Bank Austria branch on Wienerberg in Vienna-Favoriten. However, they failed.
The crime took place at around 3 a.m. at the Vienna Twin Tower. The three perpetrators attempted to blow up the ATM in order to obtain money. However, the attempt was unsuccessful. According to information from the "Krone" newspaper, the unknown perpetrators fled in the direction of Triester Straße; according to the police, the getaway vehicle was a white motorcycle. The search is ongoing.
The police were at the scene on Wednesday morning and were busy securing evidence; the investigation is ongoing.
Witnesses who noticed the unknown perpetrators before, during or after their escape are asked to contact the police.
Information (also anonymous) is requested from the Vienna State Criminal Police Office on 01-31310-33800.
Series of ATM burglaries
This is now the fifth time within a few weeks that an ATM has been targeted. Whether the current crime is connected to the series of blasts by a gang of ATM blasters from Holland is the subject of investigations.
The gang manufactures explosive devices from firework rockets, apparently using category F4 pyrotechnics with great destructive power.
