All up, they withdrew more than $100,000 in New Zealand with cloned cards stolen from overseas. In June, ASB raised the alarm with police to say cloned bank cards had been used 313 times at various ATM machines during May. They watched as Irimia tried to withdraw money with a cloned card before swooping to arrest him. Card skimming gangs have regularly targeted New Zealand since the first case was identified 10 years ago.
