Limited use of sealbag machine on Croonstadtlaan
The use of the sealbag machine on Croonstadtlaan in Mijdrecht is limited. Users can access the machine daily from 07:00 to 14:00. After 14:00, the machine is immediately emptied. The measure has been implemented for security reasons.
A sealbag machine is a secure Geldmaat machine where business customers can deposit cash into a sealed plastic bag (sealbag). Geldmaat has taken this measure to empty the machine immediately after 14:00 due to multiple ram raids that occurred last week. Last week, six Geldmaat machines were targeted by criminals.
The explosive attacks are exclusively aimed at sealbag machines. All other machines for depositing or withdrawing banknotes or coins remain available during their usual opening hours. Geldmaat emphasizes that the measure is temporary and that the machine will not be removed.
