Charges Laid in Connection to Debit Card Skimming

From RCMP:

Following an investigation initiated by the RCMP Criminal Interdiction
Team, a man faces charges in connection to debit card skimming after
being arrested yesterday afternoon in Halifax.

The investigation led police to the Via Rail train station where
officers arrested a man and woman just after 12 p.m. in connection with
debit card skimming. A search of the man’s bag resulted in several
technical devices and a substantial quantity of cash being seized. Both
individuals were turned over to the HRP/RCMP Integrated Financial Crime
Unit who were able to identify the man as being involved in a skimming
operation targeting CIBC ATMs in Halifax. The woman was subsequently
released without charges.

Twenty-two-year-old Volodymyr Zozulya of Ontario is scheduled to appear
in Halifax Provincial Court to face a number of credit card related
offences including fraud over $5000, possession of credit card data,
using credit card data, possessing device intended to forge credit
cards, intercepting a function of a computer system and possessing a
computer password that enables him to commit the offence of fraud.
