Police yesterday arrested two Romanian nationals in relation to organised criminal activity and a range of immigration offences.
The 34 and 40 year-old men are both key figures in a large, international organised crime group involved in credit card skimming and the production of false identities.

They are facing charges including; participating in an organised crime group, provision of false or misleading information, using forged documents and misleading an immigration officer.
