After ATM Explosion in Vienna-Donaustadt: Police Search for Two Perpetrators

According to initial investigations, the crime was carried out by two men who first damaged the branch's sliding glass door and then detonated the explosive device in the foyer. Despite immediately initiated search measures, the duo managed to escape with loot of currently unknown value on a motorcycle or moped in the direction of Saikogasse. ATM explosions are currently being carried out at a high frequency. The current week began with such a crime on Monday night in Vienna-Liesing.

According to the Federal Criminal Office's count, it was the 23rd case since January 1, 2025. In another criminal action on Friday night in Brunn am Gebirge (Mödling district) in Lower Austria, it remained only an attempt. Since March 1, a dedicated investigation group has been tasked with the series, and a criminal organization operating from the Netherlands is suspected to be behind the acts. The investigations have been taken over by the Vienna State Criminal Office. Persons who can provide useful information - even anonymously - are requested to contact any police station or directly the Vienna State Criminal Office at the phone number 01 31310 ext. 33800.
