The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating two (2) male suspects wanted in connection with twenty (20) grand larcenies that occurred in Brooklyn and Queens within the confines of the 63rd, 66th, 68th, 71st, 79th, 90th, 102nd, 107th and 112th Precincts between Thursday, April 16, 2015 and Monday, June 15, 2015.

The suspects install skimmer card-reading devices inside ATM bank locations and subsequently produce fraudulent debit cards allowing them to make withdrawals from victims’ bank accounts.

See attached photo of the suspects captured when they withdraw from the accounts.

“ATM skimming” is basically placing an electronic device on an ATM that scoops information from a bank card’s magnetic strip whenever a customer uses the machine. ATM skimming is a growing criminal activity that some experts believe costs U.S. banks hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto Crime Stoppers’ website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577.

All calls are strictly confidential.
