Gardaí arrest three men in probe into €90,000 ATM fraud at locations across Meat

 Investigators  have  arrested  three people   who  attempted to commit   a  suspected  ATM fraud   which  would  have   enabled  them   to  win  €90,000.
 
   A   spokesman  said  investigators   from  the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) and Blackrock Garda Station made the arrests as part of an investigation into fraudulent activity at ATMs in Dublin and   Meath.
 
   "Gardaí  have identified a number of incidents where ATMs   have  been  fitted with items known as   'cash  trapping'  devices. These devices are   fitted  into ATMs and   prevent  ATM users from receiving their cash after   withdrawing  from the machine. 
 
   
 
   "It  is understood   that  approximately €90,000   worth  of  cash withdrawals   were  blocked at various locations in Dublin and Meath   last  week.
 
   "On  Friday   afternoon,  GNECB-affiliated  Gardaí  arrested three men (aged   between  20  and   40  years)  as part of this investigation. They are currently   being  held  at  a  Garda  station  in  Dublin  under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice   Act  2007.
 
   "A  quantity of cash and a number of   cash-collecting  devices were seized as part of this   investigation,"  the   spokesman  said.
 
   Gardaí are continuing to investigate the incidents.
