ATMs are repeatedly blown up in Bavaria. According to the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) in Munich, criminals have been able to steal more than 1.4 million euros in Bavaria alone since the beginning of the year. 18 machines were blown up by mid-November. This means that the number of machines blown up is at a similar level as in 2019.
