Dutch and German police have broken up a criminal gang involved in making video tutorials on how to bomb cash machines after one of its members blew himself up in the process.
One suspect was killed and another was badly hurt in the Dutch city of Utrecht when a trial run went wrong at an illegal “training centre” for explosives attacks on ATMs, Europol said.
Police eventually made nine arrests during an 18-month operation targeting the gang, which the EU’s police agency said was linked to at least 15 bombings on ATMs in Germany that resulted in losses of €2.15m (£1.5m).
