Detectives are looking for two
suspects seen on camera
installing a skimming device
on an ATM at Duane Reade pharmacy
in Ridgewood last week.
Two individuals are depicted in
footage shared on Twitter by the
104th Precinct
a l l e g e d l y
installing the
device at 54-11
Myrtle Ave. on
July 12.
A drugstore
c u s t o m e r
d i s c o v e r e d
the device at
around 8:30 a.m.
that day and
reported it to store employees, who
contacted police.
The skimmers pick up the personal
and account information of anyone
who swipes a credit or debit card
through it. This information is then
typically used for the production of
counterfeit debit cards or fi nancial
accounts that can cost individuals
and fi nancial institutions.
Police said the investigation is
ongoing and there have been no
arrests, according to cops.
Anyone with information on the
duo are asked to call the NYPD at 718-
330-1805.
