Two more people have been charged in connection with an alleged international fraud racket targeting EFTPOS card holders.
The men, aged 22 and 28, were arrested in Pendle Hill, in Sydney's west, on Tuesday afternoon.
The younger man was charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud, possession of identification information, possession of equipment to make a false document and participation in a criminal group.
He was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Wednesday.
The older man was charged with stealing from a person and was granted conditional bail to appear at Fairfield Local Court on September 7.
The arrests follow the detention on Sunday of five men in Sydney, all of whom are alleged to be members of a fraud syndicate that uses skimming devices to steal EFTPOS card details.
The arrests were made by NSW detectives attached to Strike Force Wigg, which was set up in 2009 to investigate EFTPOS skimming in NSW.
"It is alleged the syndicate was highly advanced technologically and operated under a sophisticated international network," police said in a statement.
To date, Strike Force Wigg detectives have charged 27 people.
Police have also seized more than 50 stolen EFTPOS terminals, skimming machines and more than 18,000 blank and counterfeit cards.
