ATM Blown Up at Pommerloch Filling Station

The Grand Ducal Police have reported that an automatic teller machine (ATM) in Pommerloch (mear Wiltz) was blown up on Saturday evening.

The incident happened at around 23:40 at the Q8 filling station on Bastnicherstrooss in Pommerloch. A short time later, the first police patrols arrived at the scene of the explosion. According to witness statements, four masked perpetrators fled the scene in a black Range Rover towards Belgium. 

The scene of the crime was cordoned off by the Grand Ducal police and a large-scale manhunt was initiated in the area. However, this was inconclusive and an investigation was instigated.

This latest incident follows a previous such incident in the early hours of last Friday morning, when an ATM was blown up in Grevenmacher, at the Copal shopping centre between 02:45 and 03:15.
