Styria has become the site of a nighttime ATM explosion.

Unknown perpetrators blew up an ATM in St. Oswald bei Plankenwarth in the Graz-Umgebung district on the night of Friday. They had attached a pyrotechnic explosive device to the machine on the facade of the municipal office and detonated it around 1:00 a.m. The ATM was heavily damaged, and the facade sustained minor damage. However, the perpetrators were unsuccessful in their heist and fled without loot. A manhunt has so far been unsuccessful, according to the police.

Investigations into ATM Explosion Scene: Arrests

Just on Thursday, the police announced at a press conference in Vienna that 14 suspects had been arrested in the course of nationwide investigations into the ATM explosion scene. A total of 33 people were identified. Since March 1, a special task force at the Federal Criminal Police Office has been investigating this matter.
