Fraud suspects arrested at airport

TWO members of a Romanian gang were arrested as they were about to board a flight out of Dublin Airport by detectives investigating a major ATM card scam.

Officers from the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation (GBFI) also arrested a third Romanian national in Tallaght, west Dublin.

The arrests were the culmination of a dedicated operation set up last October against the background of a rise in the theft and use of bank cards. The criminals specifically targeted older women in the scam.
