A man was jailed for four years last week for copying thousands of debit cards. Theogones de Montford was the leader of a gang of criminals who added a special hidden machine to cash machines at petrol stations. The tiny machine copied the information from the debit card that people put into the machines. The gang then made copies of the cards and used them to buy things in shops and on the Internet. They also put cards into cash machines and took money from people's bank accounts. De Montford had copied 35,000 cards and had stolen over £720,000!
