Middletown police are seeking a man with a defined tattoo after finding the skimmer device at an area ATM.
MIDDLETOWN, PA - Authorities in Middletown are seeking the identity of a man who reportedly placed a bank card skimming device in an ATM at an area bank.
Middletown police say the man, pictured above, and a lookout behind him stuck a skimmer on the Penn Community Bank in the Highland Park area this week.
“Doesn't seem like he is real good at this bad guy stuff 'cause he busted the ATM in the process,” Middletown Township police said in a statement. “We recovered the skimmer before they could take it back, so hopefully no customers were impacted.”
