A gang of Romanian fraudsters have been jailed for between 21 and 64 months for stealing an estimated £16 million-worth of bank card details from more than 60,000 people in the UK and abroad.

Three men and a woman appeared at the Old Bailey for sentencing after pleading guilty to a string of fraud offences after police uncovered what they described as a ‘fraudster’s utopia’ in Harrow, Middlesex.

Prosecutor Catherine Pattison said the defendants – who were living at addresses in the area – were responsible for ‘a large-scale, highly sophisticated, well executed ATM and counterfeit fraud’.
