Bengaluru, Sep 16: CID police have arrested two foreigners for stealing debit and credit card details of customers by installing skimming units and mini cameras in ATM kiosks.
The international cheaters are identified as Dan Sabian Christian (40) from Romania and Mare Janos (44) from Hungary.
They used to obtain secret codes of customers from some ATM machines of Kotak Mahindra Bank, City Bank and Canara Bank. The arrests were made following complaints by some customers.
Both have confessed that they had come to India only with the intention of stealing information from debit and credit cards.
“Skimming instruments, computers, memory cards and other items have been recovered from them,” said CID director general Kishore Chandra in a news conference on Friday, September 15.
Both the accused, who arrived together on September 1 to India for the first time on tourist visa, were planning to fly to United Kingdom on September 19.
