£10k Cashpoint Blitz Charges


A Belfast French-Algerian accused of an ingenious £10,000-plus Transactional Reversal Fraud campaign on Coventry Building Society’s cashpoint machines was committed in custody to Southwark Crown Court.

Abdel Karim Redjel, 30, of 25 Alveston Drive, Belfast was arrested by officers from the joint Metropolitan and City of London Police's Dedicated Cheque and Plastic Crime Unit and appeared at City of London Magistrates Court.

Redjel is accused of perfecting a top-secret technique whereby he withdraws cash from accounts opened in false names without the amounts being debited from his balance.

He faces twenty-three charges of stealing a total of £10,180 from the Coventry Building Society on various dates between May 25 and June 1, 2007 and attempting to steal an unknown sum from the society on June 2.
