Two years in prison, damages of over half a million kronor, and deportation from the country.

This is the sentence for the 40-year-old man who, by copying credit cards, cheated his way to large quantities of fuel, writes Bohusläningen. The man drove around to different gas stations, including in Bohuslän, Skåne, Östergötland, Småland, and Norway, and installed so-called skimming equipment. This is a technique that reads off credit card information and codes.

Then, the man used the stolen information to create copies of the cards and thereby obtained large quantities of fuel without paying. The crimes took place during the first half of the year.

The man is now convicted by Uddevalla District Court for fraud, forgery, and use of false documents. In total, it involves at least 39 instances of crime. The man denies the crimes but admits to having installed equipment on one occasion at the request of his boss.

It is obvious that the man tanked up and then sold the fuel further. Unfortunately, we have not been able to reach the principal, explained chief prosecutor Per-Erik Rinsell in connection with the indictment.
