Eppishausen ATM Blown Up Before Dawn as Suspects Flee With Ink-Marked Cash

State investigators cite the triggered dye system as a crucial lead in a year that has seen a surge of ATM blasts.

Overview

  • The explosion occurred around 3:55 a.m. on November 12 at a VR-Bank Memmingen branch in the Haselbach district of Eppishausen.
  • Authorities confirm the thieves made off with cash that was stained by the ATM’s anti-robbery dye system.
  • Police say at least three suspects fled in a dark vehicle, and their identities are still unknown.
  • No injuries were reported, but the blast destroyed the ATM room and shattered windows in the mixed residential and commercial building.
  • The Bavarian State Criminal Police Office is leading the investigation, securing traces, reviewing post-crime images, and sending explosive residue to its Munich KTI lab, and it counts this as Bavaria’s 17th ATM explosion this year.
