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.
