Brett Lackey reports:

Piles of confidential documents containing the personal details of ANZ customers have been found thrown in a skip bin on a busy street by someone walking by.

Scott Collins, 26, was walking near Armadale Central Shopping Centre, in Perth’s south-east, when he noticed the papers overflowing from the bins which were being used in renovations.

He said they included bank statements, letters and internal communications that showed customer account numbers, personal details, emails, phone numbers and transaction histories.
