Stoupa ATM explosion results in 200,000 euro theft

Unknown perpetrators detonated an ATM in Stoupa, Messinia, early Saturday morning, stealing approximately 200,000 euros. The explosion occurred shortly before 4:00 AM at a machine located outside a supermarket on the Kalamata–Areopoli National Road.

The blast caused significant damage to the ATM and the facade of the adjacent supermarket. No injuries were reported, despite the area currently seeing high tourist activity. The stolen funds had been loaded into the machine only the previous day.

Authorities from the Kalamata Criminal Investigation Sub-directorate have launched a manhunt to locate the suspects. Police are currently reviewing security camera footage from the area to track the perpetrators' movements and escape route.
