Queensland police have charged two men with almost 400 offences following an alleged large-scale card skimming and fraud operation targeting communities across south-east Queensland. Detectives claim the two Romanian nationals, aged 36 and 39, were involved in a series of fraudulent activities between February and May, affecting nearly 50 suburbs including Tugun. The investigation, known as Operation Yankee Iron Tread, was launched in April as reports of skimming incidents increased throughout the region. Police later raided a property in Boronia Heights, where officers allegedly seized $20,000 in cash, skimming devices, bank card templates, and identification information. Both men have each been charged with 195 offences, including fraud, dealing with identification information, and possessing equipment intended to facilitate criminal activity. Bail was refused and the pair are due to appear before the Brisbane Magistrates Court. Brendan Blyth said authorities would continue aggressively pursuing offenders targeting Queenslanders through financial fraud and identity theft.
