The Boracay PNP is
now in action delving into the ATM Skimming Incident in the island.
According to
Chief of Intelligence and Operation Section, Police Inspector Keenan Ruiz, they
already coordinated with the banks in the island to stop the alleged syndicate responsible
for the so called ATM Skimming.
This is in
relation to an incident where Metro Bank Boracay’s Branch Operation Officer
discovered a hidden camera and card copier in one of their Automated Teller
Machines.
An inspection
was conducted and a skimming device was found to have been installed in the said
ATM.
Ruiz believes
that no ordinary syndicate is behind this, causing them to beef up police visibility
and their Intelligence and Operations Section.
The Police Officer encourages all possible victims of the mentioned modus to report to the PNP.
Moreover, the
public is advised to be aware and vigilant whenever they will have ATM transactions.
