On April 10 a plain clothes British Transport Police (BTP) officer found a skimming device – used to read bank card details – on a ticket machine at the station on Highbury Corner. In this case, a green card reader was placed over the original reader to record passengers’ card details, while a pinhole camera was fitted above the keypad to capture the victim’s PIN number.
