Police Looking For 2 Men Suspected Of Using Fake ATM Cards
The incidents took place Wednesday, Sept. 26, at Coastway Community Bank on Post Road; other banks may have also been hit.
East Greenwich Police are searching for two suspects who allegedly withdrew money from other people's accounts at Coastway Community Bank by using blank ATM cards Wednesday, Sept. 26.
According to police, two men entered the bank located at 5750 Post Road a few minutes apart. They each used blank ATM cards with magnetic strips and accessed customer bank accounts. The suspects fraudulently took an undetermined amount of cash.
Both suspects approached the bank on foot and from different directions so surveillance cameras were not able to pick up any car descriptions or license plate numbers. They each spent several minutes at the ATM.
Police say other area banks were compromised as well.
Both suspects are described as men with a medium build and light skin. If you have any information about the suspects please contact East Greenwich Police Det. Glen Terilli 886-8685.
