The devices can be used to record customers' card details.

The men, aged 28 and 39, will appear in court on Monday charged with accessing a computer for a dishonest purpose.

Detective Sergeant Joanne Parks said anyone noticing anything unusual about an ATM should report it to the relevant bank immediately.
