Canada: ATM Bandits Sentenced to Jail Term

A Canadian Press article, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:

A New Brunswick judge has sentenced a Montreal couple to several years of prison for ripping off banking machine customers in four provinces.

Steve Marino, 22, and Laura Rebecca Meyer-Diaz, 20, were in Moncton provincial court yesterday before Judge Sylvio Savoie.

After their guilty pleas to 801 fraud-related charges, the judge sentenced them to three years in prison, with credit given for the equivalent of 10 months already served in remand.

The pair attached equipment to ATMs to capture the information on bank cards, as well as a camera to record personal identification numbers.
