Philly Rioter Dies Trying To Blow Up ATM Machine

Over the past few days, dozens of ATM machines across the city have been blown up in an attempt to get the cash inside.

One man has died after placing an explosive device on an ATM outside a sports bar.

CBS3 Philly reports:

Police say a 24-year-old man tried using an explosive device to blow up the ATM by Sidekicks Sports Bar, but when the device went off, he was thrown to the ground with serious injuries. He was rushed to a nearby hospital and died.
Police say the explosive device never penetrated the ATM’s safe. Live explosives were recovered at the scene.

The Philly Voice reports that police are “working with federal officials to investigate explosions at approximately 50 ATMs across the city since widespread protesting began on Saturday afternoon...”

Investigators say there is a clear pattern of targeting ATMs.

The Police Chief says “as best we can determine at the moment, the vast majority of these machines were damaged or opened by the use of M250 to M100 illegal explosive devices.”
