Two men have been charged with 390 offences after police allegedly uncovered cash, card-skimming devices and bank card templates during a search at Boronia Heights.
Queensland Police said the charges followed an investigation into alleged card-skimming and fraud offences across South East Queensland between February and May.
The offences allegedly occurred at businesses and ATMs across dozens of suburbs.
Detectives searched a Boronia Heights address on Tuesday, 19 May, where two men, aged 36 and 39, were arrested.
Police said they seized about $20,000 in cash, skimming devices, identification information and template bank cards during the search.
The two men have each been charged with 195 offences, including fraud, dealing with identification information and possessing equipment allegedly used to commit or help commit fraud offences.
They were refused police bail and were expected to appear in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 20 May.
Indooroopilly CIB Detective Senior Sergeant Brendan Blyth said police would continue to target people accused of stealing personal information and money from Queenslanders.
“Stealing anyone’s personal information and hard-earned money is a brazen offence that police will not tolerate,” he said.
“If you believe you are a victim of fraudulent transactions, immediately notify your financial institution, report the matter to police and seek any further support you need.”
Police said people who believe they have been affected by identity theft or fraud can seek support through IDCARE, while scams can be reported through ReportCyber or Scamwatch.
