They were not successful with it. As the criminal police in Neustadt announced on request, the attempt, which was at 3.15 a.m., remained. The police could not say whether the perpetrators were disturbed.
The act is probably also related to the fact that criminal gangs have reoriented themselves as a result of the pandemic and increased home offices, according to a spokesman for the police. However, the police have not received any frequent reports of such cases in the Vorderpfalz.
The United VR Bank, which arose from the merger between the RV Bank Rhein-Haardt and the Volksbank Kur- und Rheinpfalz, was already the target of machine sprinklers this year: In Schwetzingen, one ATM from the Volksbank and one from the local bank were opened in March Sparkasse blown up at night. According to media reports, 100,000 euros were stolen.
Destinations are mostly locations on highways
According to the criminal police, such gangs like to choose places where they can act unobserved and quickly get away from the highways.
Neither the police nor the bank concerned could say how badly the branch area of the bank was damaged. According to Andreas Schünhof, spokesman for the credit institution, efforts are being made to reopen as soon as possible.
