Gardaí have charged three men who were arrested over alleged fraudulent activity at ATMs in Dublin and Meath.

Gardaí identified a number of incidents where ATMs were fitted with items known as ‘cash trapping’ devices.

These devices are inserted into ATMs and block ATM users from receiving their cash after making a withdrawl from the machine.

It is understood approximately €90,000 in cash withdrawals was blocked at various locations in Dublin and Meath in the past week.

The three men, aged in their 20s and 40s, were arrested on Friday and have now been charged.

They are due to appear before Dun Laoghaire District Court on Monday.
