These two men were trying to steal some identities in a flash when they installed an ATM skimming device at a popular fast food chain in Maspeth last week.
According to police, the two suspects entered the McDonald’s restaurant located at 59-60 55th Rd. just off the Long Island Expressway service road, between the hours of 9:10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 27, where they installed a skimming device along with a false panel with an attached camera to an ATM inside the location, then fled.
Reportedly, a user discovered the skimmer on the machine and notified management, which then contacted the 104th Precinct.
