Police discover metal glued to ATMs in Maryland
August 12, 2024
Police in Greenbelt, Maryland discovered two ATMs that had a piece of metal glued over the cash withdrawal slit. This was discovered at a Bank of America branch and Capital One ATM, according to a report by WTOP News.
The object was a piece of metal trim or metal rule, and a single $20 bill was jammed inside one of the ATMs. Police are uncertain what was the motive behind this tampering.
"The one thing we have not been able to determine is whether or not this is being done to distract people, so that when they're trying to get their money out, and it's not coming out, that maybe another crime is about to take place," Ricardo Dennis, a spokesman for Greenbelt police, said in the report.
Police did not discover any other tampering to the ATMs, such as skimmers, according to the report. The investigation is ongoing.
