Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested a Chinese national for allegedly stealing data from a private bank with skimming devices at one of its ATM facilities.
The arrest came after bank management approached the investigation agency for its assistance when they observed suspicious activity of two foreigners at their Plaza Square branch, reports Dawn.
It was noticed by the management through CCTV footages installed inside the ATM facility that the foreigners spent an unduly long time there though for not any visible job.
The FIA has formally launched investigations into the matter and lodged the case against the suspect identified as Xie Yi.
Xie Yi had landed in Pakistan on June 18 with a friend named Xie Rongjing.
The FIA under Pakistan Penal Code has registered a case under Sections 36/37 of the Electronic Transactions Ordinance and 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document) against the arrested suspect and his aide at large.
