PHILADELPHIA - Authorities are investigating after another night of reported ATM explosions across Philadelphia as state officials announced they’ve arrested a man for selling what he advertised as “dynamite” on social media.
Since the unrest began, approximately 50 ATM’s have reportedly been hit. On Tuesday night, authorities say explosions happened in Fairmount, West Philadelphia, Drexel Hill and Mount Airy.
[...]Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the thefts are believed to be “organized" and “coordinated" efforts and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is taking the lead in the investigation.
Outlaw encouraged any businesses with an accessible outdoor ATM to immediately take action.“We encourage those businesses that do have these private ATMs outside of their business or inside to ensure that the money is removed.”
According to police, most of the ATMs are being open or damaged with the use of M-250 or M-100 explosive devices, which are illegal in the state of PA and can carry an incredibly serious criminal charge if a person is found with one.
Using any ‘M related’ explosive device is considered a weapons of mass destruction charge, according to Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
An undercover agent was going to purchase a dozen explosives from the suspect for only $300. Also, several more bags of explosives have been recovered, no word on how many exactly. @FOX29philly
