NYPD: 2 Men Caught Tampering With ATM In Brooklyn
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Two men have been arrested after two New York City officers saw them tampering with an ATM in Brooklyn, police said.
The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon at a TD Bank on Shore Parkway in Bensonhurst.
The officers saw the suspects trying to remove parts from the ATM, which investigators determined were to be shipped to China to be duplicated and used to accommodate skimming devices, the NYPD said.
A search of the home of one of the suspects turned up machines and other materials that could apparently be used to make phony debit and credit cards. Officers also found 127 blank Capital One credit cards, 76 blank American Express cards, 338 blank Citibank Cards, 200 blank credit cards and 41 forged New York and out of state driver's licenses, according to the NYPD.
The suspects are identified as 25-year-old Elvin Pineda and 28-year-old Luis Fernandez, both of Brooklyn.
They face several charges including criminal mischief, grand larceny and identity theft.
