The perpetrators acted brutally. They apparently blew up the ATM deliberately to get to the cash inside. The detonation was intense, the damage extensive. Glass shards and debris flew around. Fortunately, according to initial information, no one was directly injured.

The police were quickly on the scene, but the perpetrators were already long gone. They are on the run, and the manhunt is in full swing. Such incidents are not only annoying because of the material damage but also unsettling for the residents and public safety.

The turning point in this case: There has already been an arrest. However, it is not the main perpetrator or perpetrators, but an alleged accomplice. A 20-year-old woman was arrested in Vienna. She is accused of having helped in the crime.

The shocking part: The young woman must now be held in pre-trial detention. The courts see an urgent suspicion and grounds for detention. This shows how seriously the judiciary takes such crimes and the assistance in them. A young woman ends up in prison due to her alleged involvement in the explosion of an ATM.

Unfortunately, these cases of ATM explosions are increasing. They pose challenges for investigators, as the perpetrators often act professionally and quickly flee. The hunt for those responsible continues, while the legal consequences for those involved, like the accomplice, are already being felt.
