SALINA- Law enforcement in Saline County have released photos from one of two Sunflower Bank ATM’s where they found “skimmer” devices last week.

Salina Police say the photos, taken by the ATM’s surveillance camera at the Sunflower Bank, 2070 South Ohio, and show the individual police believe is responsible for attaching the illegal devices to the ATM’s.

Bank officials contacted police on Thursday.

Police say a chip inside the skimmer records information, without the victim’s knowledge, once the card is slid through the skimmer and into the ATM.

In addition to the skimmers, cameras are installed in the ATM’s. These cameras are used to capture the victim’s personal identification number (PIN) number when they use their card.
Police believe the two Salina cases are connected to a similar skimmer device discovered at a Sunflower Bank location in Wichita.

According to Wichita Police, a skimmer was also discovered last Thursday at the Sunflower Bank located at 4101 E. Harry. Police in Wichita were able to remove that device before thieves were able to retrieve it.

Anyone that can identify the individual in the photos, is asked contact the Salina Police Department at 785-826-7210 or Crime Stoppers at 785-825-TIPS. Tips can also be submitted by texting SATIPS to CRIMES (274637), or by visiting www.pd.salina.org and following the Crime Stoppers link to submit a web tip.
