A crude spy camera made from an iPod has been discovered attached to a cash machine by police who foiled fraudsters in their attempts to steal PIN and bank cards from unsuspecting members of the public Thieves had taken the small iPod, which is an old version that is no longer sold, and used its built-in camera to spy on the cash machine's keypad. It had been crudely shrouded in a small plastic box and attached to the cash machine in Gatley, Stockport, with sticky tape. It also included a small plastic piece attached over the slot where cards are inserted, which was designed to snare bank cards and stop them from being ejected. This would allow fraudsters to return once the customer had given up and retrieve the card themselves, which they could then use because the camera captured the associated PIN.
