Pictures Of Lakeland Bank ATM Skimmer Suspects Released

BLOOMINGDALE, NJ— Have you seen these people? Bloomingdale and Jefferson Township Police believe they may have placed skimming devices on the Lakeland Bank ATM and need your help identifying them.

The two men pictured are believed to have placed the skimmer on the ATM on Dec. 23 in Bloomingdale. It was removed on Dec. 26, but not before multiple people had their debit card information and PIN numbers lifted.

A Lakeland Bank location in Jefferson was also targeted around the same time. Jefferson Police said the device was installed on that ATM on Dec. 23, and removed on Jan. 2. It was not immediately clear if the men pictured are suspects in that case as well.

ATM skimming is similar to identity theft: thieves use hidden electronics installed on ATMs to steal the personal information stored on your card. They then record the PIN that you key in, giving the thieves full access to your accounts.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Jefferson Police at 973-697-1300 or Bloomingdale Police at 973-838-0158.
