After issuing a media release containing a suspect photo on June 8, 2018, police received public tips identifying a man who was allegedly approaching people at ATMs and convincing them to withdraw money on his behalf.
The suspect reportedly told the victims that he had reached his withdrawal limit for the day, and asked them to deposit an empty envelope that the suspect claimed contained $800. The victims reportedly deposited the envelope, withdrew the equivalent in cash, and provided it to the suspect.
