ATM fraud and card theft

Fraudsters distract you while you're using the ATM.

Residents are warned to be mindful of ATM fraud and card theft at Mulbarton Shopping Centre (True North Road) and Mulbarton Shell garage.

On September 28 at 18:00, a resident had her card stolen at an ATM Mulbarton Shopping Centre and the thieves then used the nearby ATM at the Shell to withdraw funds.

Mike Fontes Ward 24 community safety ward committee member said, “The modus operandi involves a lady asking for taxi money near the ATM under the pretext to monitor what pin you use at the ATM. Three males in a nearby car, in this instance a blue VW GTi (no registration plates), rob the resident of their ATM card.

“This is not an isolated incident and we advise residents to be cautious when using these ATMs,” said Fontes.
