BREDA - A man from Romania was sentenced to three years in prison on Monday afternoon in Breda for debit card fraud. The man is said to be a member of a gang, which skims debit cards by manipulating supermarket cash registers. The suspect was caught red-handed in July at the Albert Heijn in Breda's Heksenwiel shopping center, where he had locked himself in and mounted the skimming equipment at the cash register overnight.

The 36-year-old man denies having anything to do with the skimming at other supermarkets in Breda, Veenendaal and Amstelveen.
