ATM SKIMMER NABBED

Bulgarian national Dawod Hamid Aljenabi, 47, was arrested on Monday in Bangkok's Ratchathewi district on charges of stealing up to Bt40 million from ATM skimming.

Police also found 32 fake electronic cards on him, plus Bt5,500 in cash and 4,000 euros. They also seized a black handbag, a mobile phone, the suspect’s passport and ID card. Pol Colonel Akaradech Pimolsri, acting commander of the Crime Suppression Division, told the press yesterday that CSD investigators had received a tip-off from Siam Commercial Bank about unusual ATM withdrawals in different areas of Bangkok since February 4. In response to this, officers were sent to keep a close watch on suspected cash withdrawals in areas at risk of ATM skimming.
