background and previous incidents
The blast on the weekend was not the first incident of this kind a week. Already in the night of Monday there was a similar incident in Vienna-Liesing, and another attempt at an explosion was carried out in Brunn on the mountains on Friday night. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), this series of ATM has been the 23rd case since the beginning of 2025. Interestingly, it is assumed that a criminal association from the Netherlands is behind these deeds. Investigations were taken over by a special group of the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, which has been active since March 1st.
But the effects of these criminal machinations are not only numerical, but also noticeable for the Viennese population. Numerous post-branches have taken out their ATMs for security reasons. Post, Bawag and Bank Austria have introduced additional security measures due to the incidents. A spokesman for the Post informed that the foyers of the branches remain open, but the ATMs are marked. Bawag closes Foyers between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. to prevent possible attacks.
search and security
The police carry out intensive searches, but the perpetrators have so far remained undetected. Information can be given anonymously to any police inspection or directly to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office. The telephone number for this is 01 31310 DW 33800. The Vienna Raiffeisen branches have also reinforced their safety precautions, but so far they have been spared the blasting.
The concern of the population grows with every new incident, and it remains to be seen how the authorities will encounter the threat. In a city that is known for their security, it is important that the citizens remain informed and show vigilance.
