Four Bulgarians in their twenties have been arrested in Lyon, France, for ATMs.

This has been announced by the local Lyon newspaper Le Progres. The four men are believed to have drained over EUR 250 000 so far but the sum might turn out to be bigger because it does not account for the latest hits of the gang.

Two of the men were arrested as they were installing a skimming device on an ATM. The other two were busted in an apartment in the suburbs of Lyon where the police found special software and other devices for ATM theft.
