The major crimes unit has been investigating a crime pattern of credit card skimmers being put on ATMs across New York State. Deputies found two men and a juvenile who matched the description given to them by ESL when they arrived at the scene.
Deputies took the men in for questioning. Investigators identified the men as Radeck Bohdan, 31, from the Czech Republic, and Danut V. Urseiu, 30, from Romania. The juvenile is a 17-year-old Romanian citizen.
