Ten cases of credit card theft where thieves have managed to withdraw large sums of cash have been reported to the Metropolitan Police in recent days. The police has issued a warning to the public to show caution while keying in their PIN numbers in public places to ensure that strangers can't use their cards.
In all the cases the thieves appear to have observed people keying in their PIN number before stealing the cards. The thieves have then used the card to withdraw cash at ATM machines. Most of the thefts have taken place at bars in Reykjavík.
The Metropolitan Police urges people to ensure strangers are not looking while they punch in their PIN numbers.
