However, the blast did not help the three unknown perpetrators to get the money. The men fled without booty at excessive speed in an unmarked car, reported the police operations manager, Florian Oberauer, to the APA.
The police received the alarm at 4:30 a.m. When the police arrived at the scene of the crime in the Industriezeile, the entrance door from the foyer had been forced open and they found the foyer devastated, the operations manager described. “The blast took place, but they didn’t get the money,” emphasized Oberauer. “Apparently they didn’t use enough explosives or gas – because the cassettes didn’t open.” Both ATMs were completely destroyed, the material damage was considerable.
The police were able to view the video footage from the surveillance camera. Three perpetrators can be seen in the foyer, said the head of operations. It is still unclear whether there were other escape drivers. The State Criminal Police Office took over the investigation.
