Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) on Friday has arrested two members of a gang, including a Romanian citizen, accused of committing ATM fraud in Islamabad.

At least 130 ATM and credit cards, over a thousand fake ATM cards, a laptop and a camera were seized from the hold of the suspects.

The gang has defrauded citizens of billions of rupees, an FIA official said, adding that members of the gang would flee from the country after stealing money.

Earlier this year, a district court sentenced two Chinese nationals to one-year imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs50, 000 each over their involvement in ATM skimming.

Fraudsters employ different techniques to record your PIN code for accessing the hard-earned money in your account.
