Men Steal $800k in ATM Card Scheme: Cops

Australian Federal Police arrested two Romanian nationals in their early and late 40s on Thursday in connection with an ATM card skimming operation in Sydney that allegedly resulted in theft exceeding $800,000.
The scheme began after multiple banks reported fraudulent ATM activity in April, leading police to investigate thin metal skimmers and hidden cameras inserted into ATMs across Sydney and the Illawarra region.
Police allege the men installed skimming devices on ATMs in various Sydney locations, including northern and inner-city areas, as well as multiple towns within the Illawarra region, to steal magnetic strip data and clone bank cards.
AFP Superintendent Marie Andersson emphasized that these daring scams negatively impact Australians who are financially struggling and encouraged anyone noticing unauthorized transactions to report them promptly.
The men are scheduled to face charges related to laundering over $100,000 and unlawfully obtaining financial information when they come before Hornsby Local Court this Friday, with possible sentences reaching up to 20 years in prison.
