The Gwinnett County Police Department is seeking help to identify two suspects who took thousands of dollars using an “ATM Jackpotting” scam.
Police say in a press release that on August 27, two suspects entered a Texaco gas station at the 1600 block of Pleasant Hill Road in unincorporated Duluth and made their way to the stand-alone ATM machine inside the business. There, they allegedly began to simulate a transaction by introducing a form of malware into the machine's software, allowing them to withdraw large amounts of cash without utilizing a legitimate bank card.
On August 29, the same two suspects targeted a Chevron gas station located along the 1900 block of Braselton Highway and allegedly performed the same theft.
If anyone has any information to share in this case, please contact Gwinnett County Police Department detectives at 770.513.5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters should contact Crime Stoppers at 404.577.TIPS (8477)
