The Dutch police have significantly reduced the number of investigators working on ATM sprinklers.
Instead of three teams of investigators, only one is on the hunt for the gangsters, confirmed a spokesman for the North Rhine-Westphalian State Criminal Police Office on Monday upon request.
Düsseldorf - In the LKA one sees the step critically: "Without the close cooperation with the Netherlands our possibilities to catch offenders are extremely limited", warned Gerd Heitzer, head of the responsible investigation commission "Heat" according to the information of the "Rheinische Post".
Most of the perpetrators come from the Netherlands and operate from there.
The remaining unit now has to deal with acts from all over Germany.
The number of demolition attacks on ATMs had more than halved in North Rhine-Westphalia in the first half of the year.
In the past few days, however, the attacks had increased again.
