A large amount of money has been stolen in a brazen ATM robbery from the lobby of the Bulgaria's Sozopol Town Hall building.

The ATM, from which about BGN 90 000 have been stolen, is located right across the "Local Revenues and Taxes" department of the municipality of Bulgaria's Black Sea town.

The robbery is a total mystery since the ATM is connected to a security firm which never noticed it. The ATM had not registered any transactions for the missing bills thus eliminating the possibility that the money had been drained through fake debit cards.
