Warning as cloning devices found on cash machines

Card cloning devices were found on two machines in Gloucestershire

People have been warned to be vigilant when using cash machines in Gloucestershire after police found devices designed to steal bank card details attached to two in different locations.

Gloucestershire Police said two men, aged 29 and 36, had been arrested on suspicion of possessing an article for use in fraud.

The pair were arrested on Wednesday after they were spotted acting suspiciously near a cash machine on Court Road in Brockworth, the force added.

Police said officers found a card cloning device attached to the machine.

Officers tracked down the vehicle the two men were travelling, in where they found cash, blank bank cards and another cloning device.

"Cloning devices were also found at an ATM on London Road in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham and it is believed that the men may have been travelling around Gloucestershire," the force added.
