2 Identical Hipster Thieves Lifted Debit-Card Info From Hella Brooklyn ATMs: Police

NYPD officials have released photos of two nearly identical, hipster-looking suspects who allegedly skimmed debit-card info from at least 20 ATM machines throughout Brooklyn and Queens between mid-April and mid-June.

“The suspects install skimmer card-reading devices inside ATM bank locations,” the NYPD said in a statement, “and subsequently produce fraudulent debit cards allowing them to make withdrawals from victims’ bank accounts.”

The two pics that police released of the suspects, included above — allegedly captured as they withdrew their stolen money — in fact show two different men, and not the same man with his beard grown to different lengths, an NYPD spokesman confirmed to Patch.

The 20 machines they targeted are located within the 63rd, 66th, 68th, 71st, 79th, 90th, 102nd, 107th and 112th Precincts, police said.

Translated to neighborhoods, that means: Flatlands, Bergen Beach, Marine Park, Borough Park, Kensington, Mapleton, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Fort Hamilton, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy, Williamsburg, East Williamsburg and various neighborhoods in western Queens.

Anyone with information about these men is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted online or by texting CRIMES, then entering TIP577.
