ATM Card Skimmer Found At Bank In Westchester

YONKERS, NY — Thieves have targeted bank customers using a Westchester bank, according to Yonkers police.

Police are investigating two separate incidents in which card-skimming devices were found installed on the Webster Bank ATM machine located at 760 McLean Avenue.

These devices are used to steal people's bank card information and often lead to fraudulent account charges. Customers who used this ATM in the past month should check their accounts for suspicious activity and report the same to their financial institutions, police said in a statement released on Friday.

Skimming devices have been found at ATM machines, gas station fuel pumps, and outdoor point of sale locations in the region. Law enforcement officials said they can sometimes be installed at indoor locations as well.

"Consumers must be vigilant and check their accounts frequently, even daily, to protect against electronic fraud and theft," YPD said in the statement.

Police said if you suspect a skimming device or have been victimized, call the Yonkers Police at (914) 377-7900.
