An international student in Australia was arrested for allegedly orchestrating an elaborate ATM scam, and was dramatically caught red handed after weeks of covert surveillance and tracking.
CCTV footage shows officers nabbing Douglas Da Silva, who was allegedly using a stolen bank card to withdraw cash at an ATM in Brisbane. According to authorities, the 31-year-old was able to pull off an elaborate skimming technique which the state of Queensland has never seen before.
The Brazillian-born French man has been charged with around 61 offenses something which officers say is a first for the state.
