ATM blown up in Rostock – police are looking for suspects!
On the night of Tuesday, November 11, 2025, a spectacular incident happened in Rostock that woke the residents from their sleep. An ATM at a gas station was blown up by unknown perpetrators. At around 2 a.m., a witness reported a strong explosion that could be heard throughout the area. When the man finally noticed the damage around 3:55 a.m., he immediately informed the police.
The initial investigations on site show that parts of the destroyed ATM were scattered across the gas station area. The exact amount of money stolen and the property damage caused are currently unclear. The criminal investigation service secured the evidence and immediately began the investigation. A case was initiated on suspicion of an explosive explosion and particularly serious theft. So far, however, the police's search efforts have been unsuccessful.
Strong police deployment
The police are intensively looking for clues that could lead to the investigation of the incident. The explosion not only alarmed residents but also raised questions about the safety of ATMs. At a time when many people rely on cash, the question arises as to how such types of crime can be prevented in the future.
The detectives on site have a lot to do. The blown up gas station must be thoroughly examined to find possible evidence. The moment, which may seem like an action movie to some, is anything but amusing for those affected. It is a wake-up call for everyone that not everything is safe in our society.
This type of crime is extremely concerning for residents and businesses in the area. The police have already set up a hotline to reach possible witnesses. Anyone who was near the gas station or noticed anything unusual is asked to come forward.
This incident reminds us that problems with crime do not only occur in Cologne districts such as Nippes or Ehrenfeld. Such acts are not uncommon in other cities, even in Rostock. You have to have a good hand to feel safe in such situations.
Of course, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the perpetrators will be caught. One thing is certain: security measures must be tightened to ensure that such incidents do not happen again.
