ATM bombing rocks Ga-Nala in early hours of the morning

Kriel SAPS urges the community to come forward with information and contact the investigating officer at 082 579 0460.

Kriel police are urgently appealing to the public for any information that could help trace a group of armed individuals who bombed an ABSA ATM early this morning at the Kwikspar Complex on Mooilaan.

According to Kriel Police Station spokesperson Constable Angel Makubo, the incident occurred at approximately 01:30.

It is believed that eight to 10 heavily armed men used explosives to destroy the ATM and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money.

Initial reports suggest that a security guard on duty heard gunshots, followed by a massive explosion and more gunfire.

When it became quiet, he discovered that the ATM had been bombed and that the suspects had already fled the scene.

No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made.
