Brazen conmen caught on camera distracting staff as they use card machine fraud to steal thousands from small businesses [Video]

This is the moment three men stole from a small business in a card machine scam which made them thousands.

The trio, from Brent, London, can be seen in CCTV released by Avon and Somerset Police telling shop workers in Bristol they need to input their pin to pay for goods.

However, instead of entering a pin, one of the gang uses a card to authorise refunds to several different bank accounts, while the others distract the person at the till to buy time.

The three men were caught after police stopped a car using false number plates on the M4 and found a slew of debit cards and expensive clothing.

One of the fraudsters, Omar Said-Baker, 30, is on the run after failing to attend a sentencing hearing at Bristol Crown Court where Abdullah Said-Ahmed, 29 and Tahir Mohammed, 30, were handed suspended sentences for the scheme.
