Radu-Lucian Grigoras, 45, and Gheorghe Nistor, 42, allegedly installed skimming devices and pinhole cameras in ATMs from April through at least August of this year.
The devices captured and stored customer’s debit card information and the camera recorded them entering their PIN numbers.
The pair then would return and put the stolen information from the skimming device on other cards, which they used to fraudulently withdraw money.
Grigoras and Nistor also allegedly carried out this scheme in other states, along with New York, including Kansas, Missouri and Pennsylvania.
