Four more Japanese caught over ATM heist

Japanese police arrested four people Wednesday in connection with a multi-million dollar bank heist, including a member of a group affiliated with the country's biggest organised crime syndicate.

The 1.8 billion yen ($17.8 million) haul reportedly involved more than 100 people making a series of cash withdrawals from some 1,700 ATMs across Japan using fake credit card data from a South African bank.

Investigators had already made at least two arrests after launching a nationwide manhunt in May but are yet to unveil exactly how the crime was organised and carried out.
