On the night of May 8th to 9th, a loud explosion startled residents on via Meucci in Padenghe sul Garda, where unknown individuals detonated an ATM located outside a pharmacy near the Conad supermarket. The incident, which occurred around 3 AM, was carried out in just a few minutes: the thieves allegedly used explosives to breach the machine and access the cash. At this time, it is unclear whether any cash was taken or what the total amount of the loot might be.
Law enforcement quickly arrived at the scene following reports of the incident and have launched an investigation to identify those responsible. Officers are analyzing footage from surveillance cameras in the area to gather useful evidence for the case. The damage to the structure is significant, but the situation remains under control as checks continue.
