Cash-Dispensing Machines: Convenience Stores and Police Officers

cash-dispensing machines: In December, gold bars worth 600 million 5 million were stolen by men disguised as police officers, also in Fukuoka, according to The Japan Times. It's possible the two crimes are related, with several news outlets and the police suspecting that crime syndicates could be involved. The businessman is believed to have been planning to use the 380 million 3.5 million to buy gold. The two thefts total 980 million but that pales by comparison to the great ATM heist that was carried out last year. The gang made a series of withdrawals from 1,400 ATMs in less than three hours, with cash-dispensing machines in convenience stores primarily targeted, especially those in Tokyo, Aichi and, not surprisingly, Fukuoka. On May 15, 2016, an international gang used forged credit cards based on data leaked from a bank in South Africa to steal 1.86 billion from ATMs nationwide. (news.financializer.com).
