This morning an explosion took place on the Slotermeerlaan in Nieuw-West in which a local resident was injured. She was hit by shards of glass and had to be treated in hospital. It was earlier this week even if it hits on the Sloterkade.
Geldmaat writes in a press release that all explosive raids this week targeted so-called ‘seal bag machines’. These are intended for business customers of banks to deposit money. They also say that some machines had (limited) loot.
That is why all business deposit machines where people live above or next to them are now closed. “We regret that, but safety comes before ease of use,” says Joost den Heyer of Geldmaat. The dumping locations where no one lives next to or above will now close at 2 p.m.
The measures are temporary. It is not known when they will be lifted. Geldmaat is in discussions with the police about long-term safety.
