Perpetrators on the run
Lower Austria: ÖBB waiting room destroyed by ATM blast
An ATM was blown up at the train station in Korneuburg in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The police believe there were several perpetrators who fled in a powerful black Audi. Witnesses are urgently asked for information. There were no restrictions on train services.
Another ATM was blown up - this time at 2.47 am at Korneuburg station. The explosion completely destroyed the ÖBB waiting room, explained Chief Inspector Johann Baumschlager. The group of perpetrators then fled in a black Audi.
Commuter filmed the perpetrators' escape
According to information from "Krone", a commuter was at the scene and captured the escape on video. According to the investigators, the footage is now being analyzed, but the evaluation could take some time.
The coup probably failed, as Baumschlager suspected. Because no money was taken. Whether it was the same group of perpetrators who blew up an ATM in Gänserndorf in the Weinviertel region on February 5 is still being investigated.
The affected areas of the building have been cordoned off and there are no restrictions on train services.
ÖBB-Pressesprecher Christopher Seif
Considerable damage to property
The explosion caused considerable damage in the waiting room, as confirmed by ÖBB press spokesman Christopher Seif. Seif spoke of walls and ceilings damaged by the explosion. Glass elements in the station building were also shattered. A six-figure euro sum is estimated. The statics of the building should not have been affected.
Police ask for information
Several police vehicles and a helicopter were deployed. Information is also requested in particular about the getaway car. The investigation into the case is ongoing, said Raimund Schwaigerlehner from the Lower Austria Provincial Police Directorate.
