Police in Riverside, California arrested two suspects for allegedly installing skimming devices at ATMs. With these devices, the suspects allegedly stole tens of thousands of dollars from victims, according to a report by CBS News.

Economic crimes detectives saw the suspects parked near a Bank of America branch. The two men allegedly had a "makeshift antennae attach and pointed towards the bank's ATMs," the detectives said in the report.

Upon searching the men's vehicle, investigators found access cards used to store cloned data from skimmed cards, along with USB and skimmer devices.

The suspects were booked, but later released after posting a $10,000 bail.
