ATM fraud

Two arrests as part of garda crackdown on ATM fraud

Two men were arrested in Naas yesterday evening as part of an ongoing operation tackling the skimming of people’s card details when they place them into ATM machines.

TWO MEN HAVE been arrested as part of an ongoing operation aimed at cracking down on incidents of ATM fraud.

In a statement this morning gardaí said that two men had been arrested as part of Operation Glint, the investigation into incidents of fraud involving the “insertion of a device into ATM machines”.

There have already been a number of arrests previously as part of the operation targeting so-called skimming devices. These are devices which scan the details of a person’s ATM card when it is placed into a machine.

The two men were detained at Sallins Road in Naas at around 6.45pm yesterday evening following a surveillance operation.

The two men, both in their 30s, were taken to Naas Garda station where they are currently being detained.

A number of items of evidence have also been seized along with a vehicle, gardaí say.
