Trouble happened to attackers who were trying to blow up ATMs in the Netherlands.
A group of people specializing in ATM explosions decided to share their accumulated experience and record a training course. As a result, 1 person was seriously injured, and the second died.
The incident was reported by RTE. It is known that the criminals were 24 and 29 years old.
While recording the training video, the main suspect, a 29-year-old man, was fatally wounded.
His accomplice, a 24-year-old man, was seriously injured and was arrested.
The existence of the group became known to Europol in 2020.
Representatives of the authorities of the German city of Osnabrück reported this. They were confused about the purchase of ATMs.
Law enforcement officers suggested that the criminals decided to purchase the equipment in order to create a “training center.”
The attackers filmed training videos showing the easiest way to hack various ATM models.
Based on the results of the investigation, 9 gang members were detained by Europol in the Netherlands and Germany.
Criminals are suspected of bombing 15 ATMs in Germany.
The damage caused by members of the group is estimated at 2.15 million euros.
