April 10, 2007

Detroit Free Press:A Michigan man is expected to be extradited to Ohio, where he will face charges for stealing up to $60,000 from bank customers after skimming their card numbers and PINs at ATMs. Police in Sylvania, Ohio, arrested the man April 6 and are investigating whether the thefts are linked to an international ring as well as similar crimes in Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Washington, D.C., and elsewhere in Ohio. Police began investigating the Michigan man and his accomplice, a Toronto man whom police have yet to apprehend, in November, after complaints were filed by Key Bank and Fifth Third Bank in Sylvania.
