NYPD Probes Upper East Side ATM Scam Spree
Police are investigating a pattern of ATM scams on Manhattan's Upper East Side, where at least three suspects—two men and a woman—have targeted elderly bank customers using distraction and card-swapping tactics. The suspects struck at multiple banks, including Chase, Citibank, Bank of America, and Capital One, with unauthorized withdrawals and purchases totaling between $50,000 and $75,000. The crime spree covers at least nine incidents since early May, with some victims, such as an 86-year-old woman, losing nearly $24,000 in a single theft. Surveillance footage shows the suspects at several scenes, and police now believe additional perpetrators may be involved. No physical harm has been reported among the victims. Authorities have released suspect photos and are urging the public to contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline with tips.
