Several people involved in the theft of $90,000 from a bank have been arrested in Tashkent, the press service of the Interior Ministry said today.
On June 18, the Coordination of Activities Department of the police bodies of the Yashnabad District received a call from the chief of the retail services department of Tenge Bank. Unknown persons took possession of $90,000 in cash.
Experts found that on that day, several people visited the bank's cash desk as clients and, having entered false data into the POS terminal, cashed out the money. Law enforcement officers shortly after arrested all members of the gang.
“A year ago, I joined various Telegram groups where I communicated with the Chinese. From them, I learned about various fraud schemes, began testing programs, going to different stores, checking how everything works. Then I contacted a bank employee. Having agreed with him, we entered the bank and withdrew $90,000 through the program”, - said one of the suspects.
During the search, 12 mobile phones, a POS terminal, nine bank cards, 1.6 million soums and 36.4 thousand in cash were seized, with nine suspects arrested.
