[HIGHLIGHTS] Bomb attacks on ATMs have fallen significantly

Only seven ATMs have been blown up in North Rhine-Westphalia so far this year. In the same period last year there were 35 explosions.

Banks have now retrofitted their ATMs on a large scale with color sets that color the money if it is blown up and thus make it unusable. 75 percent of the savings banks' ATMs are now equipped with such color cartridges, says Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) This corresponds to a decrease of 80 percent.
