In an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio, head of the national police, Hristo Terziyski, commented on a recent case when robbers blew up a cash machine and stole the money in it, as the criminals still remain wanted.
Mr. Terzyiski said the practice of blowing up ATMs emerged a few years ago in the Netherlands before it spread to other EU countries.
