Five Bulgarian citizens were arrested by the Albanian Police as suspects for stealing at least 150,000 EUR from Albanian banks
through cloned credit cards.

The Bulgarians had made several trips to Albania recently, and they committed their thefts only in second level banks in Tirana and other cities. According to the police, three of them were arrested in a Durrës hotel, while cloning some credit cards, and two others while trying to leave Albania.

The Spokesperson of the Police declared that these persons have copied data for reproducing cloned credit cards. The five suspects live in Sofia, Bulgaria, aged from 32 to 38. They will be trialed on computer fraud charges.
