Duo held on forgery charges

THE Paphos District Court yesterday remanded two Romanians for eight days following their arrest on forgery charges on Tuesday.

The two men, aged 21 and 25, were arrested after the manager of a commercial bank in the town reported that two men were acting suspiciously outside the premises.
Police officers who arrived at the scene discovered that the pair had positioned a mobile phone camera on an ATM.

The camera was used to capture the personal data of customers who were using their cards to withdraw money.

After arresting the men, police found a number of credit card and PIN numbers in their possession, as well as other devices police believe were used for personal data theft.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
