Four foreigners reportedly break into Vietcombank ATMs to
steal $70,000
Two ATMs of
Vietcombank in Dien Khanh district of Khanh Hoa province were allegedly
destroyed by four foreigners on March 29 who took VND1.4 billion (nearly $70,000).
Major General Tran Ngoc Khanh,
Director of Khanh Hoa Provincial Police Agency, said the local police were
investigating the case.
"There are four suspects who
were identified as foreigners. This is a new form of crime, which is very
bold. Previously, foreign criminals stole cash from ATMs by using high-tech
equipment to steal codes or fake cards to withdraw money but this group of
criminals used welding machines to cut the cash drawer," Major General
Khanh said.
According to preliminary information,
the incident occurred at about 3am on March 29, at the two ATMs of the Bank
for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank), placed at the Nga Ba Thanh Post
Office in Dien Khanh town.
The thieves cut the steel window on
the second floor of the post office to break into the building. They then
destroyed another door lock on the first floor and the lock behind the two
ATMs, and finally used welding machine to cut the cash drawers and took the
money.
Four foreigners fled on a car and a
motorbike in two different directions, according to some motorbike taxi
drivers, who went to the post office after hearing loud noises.
