Police investigation found that these suspects had allegedly used skimmer devices to copy other ATM card information onto fake cards, which they then used to withdraw cash in 1,000 occasions. However, they only managed to get money out 162 times totalling Bt1.58 million. They allegedly told police that they had sent the money back to Ukraine.
