There may be more “tandems” like theirs.
“On Thursday, November 13, a Bulgarian national named Dentsislav Hristov and his Filipino driver Noel Dagdagan were arrested after attempting to rob an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) using a skimming device,” reports Raya Capulong on ABS-CBNnews.com.
The report noted: “The bank spokesperson said they received a phone call at about 2pm from a concerned citizen who said that a foreigner was lingering near the ATM.”
Bank officials went to the ATM site and approached Hristov, who immediately returned to his car and fled.
The report said that “the bank officials then reported the incident to law enforcement officials in the area who arrested the Bulgarian, identified as Dentsislav Hristov.”
While Hristov denied allegations that he is involved in ATM robberies, law enforcers found a pin pad reader with his driver. They also saw the following inside the car: clone ATM cards, scissors, tape, and glue.
The management of the concerned bank has yet to give a statement. The exact location of the targeted ATM was also not revealed.
Hristov and Dagdagan are facing charges for violating the Electronic Commerce Act and the Access Regulation device Act.
