GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a man after an operation carried out in Dublin yesterday in relation to cyber fraud that lead to theft from customers’ accounts and damage to ATMs.

During an operation carried out in Dublin city yesterday by the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, Gardaí said that a 34-year-old Romanian national was arrested.

Gardaí said that the investigation into “transaction reversal frauds” was reported by a financial institution on 13 January this year.

Between 8-10 January, 18 ATM machines were targeted in Dublin resulting in the theft of money from customer’s accounts and damage to the ATMs.

The 34-year-old is currently being detained at Store Street Garda Station under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act, 2007. He can be held for up to seven days.

    I’d love if they found an ogham stone that showed the Celts invented Chinese food 1000 years before the Chinese. That’d stick it to them.
