Gardaí have charged three men who were arrested over alleged fraudulent activity at ATMs in Dublin and Meath.

Gardaí identified a number of incidents where ATMs were fitted with items known as ‘cash trapping’ devices.

These devices are inserted into ATMs and block ATM users from receiving their cash after making a withdrawl from the machine.
