International gang captured in Hungary
Budapest police yesterday captured five people suspected by Spanish police of robbing nearly 200 ATMs, stealing valuable cars and forging documents in Spain. Six other members of the gang were detained in Torrevieja and its environs. The gang stole an estimated €1 million in total.
The suspects arrested in a 14th District flat are three Serb men, one Romanian woman and a Hungarian woman.
The gang's modus operandi was to block the roads leading to banks with tree trunks or large stones and then have an excavator tear ATMs from the wall.
Detectives found clues in the Zugló flat indicating that the gang may have ripped out ATMs in Hungary as well.
