A 37-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of masterminding a £1.6million cyber raid on cash machines.
The man is...
being held by detectives in Portsmouth after the seven-figure haul went missing from a string of ATMs.
Detectives believe an organised crime gang from eastern Europe inserted a computer virus into cash machines in locations including Brighton, London and Liverpool.
Devices in Blackpool, Doncaster and Sheffield were also targeted, City of London Police said.
An address in Edmonton, north London, is also being searched as part of the operation.
It is not known exactly how the operation worked, but it is thought the criminals cut holes in order to plug in USB drives that installed their code onto the ATMs.
Drop a comment...thanks!
