Richmond Heights police discover ATM skimming device, searching for suspect

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Police are looking for a man suspected of attaching a skimming device to an ATM in Richmond Heights.

Richmond Heights Police said a skimming device appeared to be placed on an ATM at the Cardinal Credit Union at 754 Richmond Road on June 26, 2019.

Skimming devices are small machines used by fraudsters that connect physically to an ATM and record card information along with a nearby camera that records the card user’s PIN.
