The Pasadena Police Department is asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect responsible for over $25,000 in losses.
A shimming device is inserted in the ATM card slot and reads the chip from the debit card recording the debit card number. The suspect attached a small camera concealed in a case that blends into the ATM machine beside the keypad to record the pin number (first picture). The suspect returned on 3-24-18 and 3-25-18 and installed the devices in the morning, then returned in the evening to remove them and collect the debit card information. This has resulted in a loss of over $25,000 as of this date from compromised accounts.
The suspect is described as a Male White, 30-40 years of age, 5’9″-5’11”, 185 lbs, brown hair, and a full beard. The suspect may be wearing sunglasses or eyeglasses to conceal his identity from the surveillance camera.
