ATM Scam

6 Ukrainians put on fresh remand

Six alleged fraudsters from Ukraine, who reportedly took money out of ATMs without leaving any paper or digital trail, were placed on a four-day fresh remand each yesterday.

The accused are: Denys Vitomskyi, 20; Volodymyr Trishchynskyi, 37; Serheii Ukrainets, 33; Oleg Shevchuk, 46; Nazarii Vozniuk, 19; and Valentyn Sokolovskyi, 37.

Metropolitan Magistrate Yasmin Ara passed the order after DB Inspector Arifur Rahman, investigation officer of the case, produced them before the court on completion of their three-day remand, and made a fresh seven-day remand prayer. 

The IO told the court that police gathered important information from the arrestees, and they need to be remanded to unveil more information.

On June 1, a team of Detective Branch of Police arrested them at a city hotel and at Taltola in Khilgaon. One of their alleged cohorts managed to escape. 

Police recovered around 50 card-like objects, masks, caps, sunglasses, six mobile phones, and an iPod, from their possession.
