Eight men have been arrested after a gang stole more than £1m from a high street bank by taking control of one of its computers.
The money was stolen from a Barclays branch in Swiss Cottage, London, earlier this year using a device known as a KVM switch.
The hardware, which can be purchased online for as little as £10, allowed the gang to transmit the contents of the computer's desktop and take control of the machine remotely.
It is believed the device was installed by a man who pretended to be an IT engineer to gain access to the branch.
Some £1.3m was withdrawn from accounts, although most of the money has since been recovered.
Detective Inspector Mark Raymond, of the Metropolitan Police's Central e-Crime Unit, said: "Those responsible for this offence are significant players within a sophisticated and determined Organised Criminal Network, who used considerable technical abilities and traditional criminal know-how to infiltrate and exploit secure banking systems."
The men, aged between 24 and 47, are currently in custody at various police stations in London.
