The Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police has arrested three more Romanians for their alleged involvement in the ATM fraud in the city, a senior officer said today.

One person was nabbed from Nepal border in Uttar Pradesh, while the other two were caught from Indore in Madhya Pradesh, he said.

With these arrests, altogether eight persons, including five Romanians, have been arrested in the ATM fraud cases.

Nearly 80 customers of nationalised banks in the city have been duped by ATM fraudulent transactions made using cloned debit or credit cards.

The customs department officials arrested Voico Aurel alias Nana when he was trying to flee to Nepal, the officer said.

He said Kolkata Police sleuths got the tip off about Nana after interrogating the two other Romanians arrested in the case and informed the UP officials.
