In recent years, Germany has witnessed a sharp rise in ATM explosions by thieves, with incidents now occurring at a frequency of more than one per day.
This troubling trend is partly fueled by the fact that cash remains a dominant form of payment in Germany, making ATMs highly attractive targets for criminal groups looking to secure large sums quickly.
These explosions not only yield significant financial rewards for the thieves but also cause extensive damage to property, inconvenience to communities, and increased strain on local law enforcement.
As ATM-related thefts become bolder and more frequent, authorities face growing pressure to address this costly crime wave that disrupts daily life in many areas of the country.
