Arrests Over Latest Scam Targeting Men

Reports suggest over 100 victims and up to €300,000 euro stolen from bank accounts.

 

A man has been arrested in connection with a number of thefts in Dublin.

The Irish Independent reports up to one-hundred people may have fallen victim to fraudsters scamming men, while they try to get home from a night out in Dublin.

Gardaí say two people have appeared in court in connection with the crime, which involves either befriending or using other forms of deception to identify the victim's PIN number and stealing their phone to gain access to their online bank account.

Officers say they may have been offered a lift or got into a bogus taxi.

A third man in his late teens was arrested yesterday morning by Pearse Street gardai and has been charged and is due before the courts shortly.

Reports suggest over 100 victims and up to €300,000 euro stolen from bank accounts.
