Skimmer Found In Artichoke Pizza ATM, Police Say

BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — A skimming device was installed in an Artichoke Pizza ATM in May, police announced Wednesday.

Two men installed the skimmer — a device that copies personal information stored in a credit card’s magnetic strip —at the Artichoke Pizza at 18 Wyckoff Ave. around 9:50 p.m. on Sunday, May 13, police said.

A pair of men have also been seen installing skimmers in two Williamsburg food markets and a Brooklyn Heights grocery store, but it is unclear whether the three incidents are related, according to police.

Police released photos of the suspect on Wednesday morning — the two men can be seen wearing hoodies and carrying an umbrella.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the police.
