Mystery Explosions Rock Philadelphia Throughout Night; ATM Thieves Suspected

As the protests and riots continue across the country, many in Philadelphia are reporting random explosions throughout the city echoing into the night. These don’t seem to be directly related to the protests. Many suspect it’s thieves using explosives to bust open ATM machines and snag all the cash.

An ATM was blown up and money was taken around 11pm on the 1500 block of W Rockland St in the Logan section of Philadelphia #phillyexplosions

For the people who has been hearing explosions in the philly area, this is one of them. This happened earlier. That is the view from my home. #phillyexplosions pic.twitter.com/3zURj9Bg10
