Two Romanian nationals have been arrested in Auckland for allegedly importing card skimming equipment, designed to help people obtain others' credit card details. The pair, aged 30 and 35, arrived in New Zealand in November, and were arrested in downtown Auckland on Thursday evening. On Friday, Customs said it recovered ATM skimming devices being manufactured for installation, blank cards and a card writer machine, and tools and equipment to make skimming devices from the address. These devices were placed in ATM card readers, which obtain credit card details.
