GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a 21-year-old man in connection with a fraudulent device found on an ATM in Greystones.
The cash-trapping device, which traps the cash as it exits the machine, was found attached to an ATM at Church Road, Greystones, on 28 July.
The young man was detained in Bray garda station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984.
He was later charged and bailed to a special sitting of Bray District Court on Wednesday 3 August at 10.30am.
Gardaí say they would like to remind people to take care at ATMs and to report any suspicious activity or irregularities to the gardaí and their bank.
Last month, TheJournal.ie reported that ATM fraud is five times more common now than in 2010.
Statistics compiled by the Irish Payment Services Organisation (IPSO) showed that there were 253 incidents of ‘ATM fraud’ in the first 18 weeks of the year. This was more than recorded in all of 2010.
Re: the Somalia story. It’s very depressing how most of the comments on that article are either demanding that his citizenship be revoked, or that he lose his job. After all, from what is in that article he was trying his best to fix a broken country and risked his life!
Yeah people are a bitter bunch alright some comments even wondered how his job was held for him while he was in somalia
Actually the Dow Jones was dropping as the President was speaking… not in the wake of his speech…nothing he said made that happen!
I watched his speech on CNN this evening . I thought he outlined his position clearly and that he had accepted that the measures which the US is about to take to help control their debt would not be enough as there hadnt been the political will in the city to go the full way and put through tougher measures. i would like to see some of the Irish politicians be as honest as I thought he was….
have your say
