The Samata Nagar police have arrested a Nigerian couple who would allegedly steal data and pin numbers of customers at ATM's in different locations by inserting a skimmer and micro cameras in order to create clone cards of the data. The Nigerian couple would then withdraw that cash and also go shopping around India and countries overseas.

The incident came to light when the YES bank branch at the Chennai head office received a number of complaints about the 'Yes bank' ATM centre that is situated in Thakur village in Kandivali East. When the bank official checked the skimmer machine, a micro camera was found installed in the ATM.
