NEW YORK
Police say the crew installed equipment at two Staten Island
Sovereign Bank branches that grabbed information from the magnetic
strips on the back of bank cards and captured the personal
identification numbers that unwitting customers punched into the
ATMs.
Lt. Ruperto Aguilar, head of the NYPD's identity theft squad,
says bank surveillance cameras captured images of the three of the
thieves, who remain at large.
Authorities say more than 250 people were victimized, but the
bank is reimbursing them for all the money that was stolen.
