Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) - ATM sprinklers have not stolen a single cent in North Rhine-Westphalia this year.
Since the beginning of the year, she has had six unsuccessful blasting attacks.
In no case was money taken, said a spokesman for the State Criminal Police Office of North Rhine-Westphalia on Monday upon request.
With 176 explosions, the number of explosions in NRW had reached a new high in 2020.
The gangsters had looted more than five million euros and caused just as much property damage.
However, activities in the fourth quarter of 2020 were already significantly down.
The investigators had attributed this to the death of a suspected demolition master last September in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
In the stronghold of the machine sprinkler, the suspect had died while handling explosives.

At the request of the SPD parliamentary group in the state parliament, the investigators named another reason for the decline: The arrest of eight suspects also contributed to this.
