CA: Three arrested for credit card fraud

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Dissent

San Luis Obispo Police arrested three people who allegedly stole $58,000 from at least 100 people by strategically placing small cameras and card readers at several county banks.

For several months, police have been investigating local credit card skimming operations.

On January 13, a Chase Bank investigator told police he had captured video images of skimmers at the Chase Bank on Madonna Road. A few days later, another Chase Bank machine was compromised on El Camino Real in Atascadero.

[…]

Police arrested Santiago Alcantar, 35, of Bell Gardens; Genea M. Antoine, 37, of Valencia; and Anthony P. Garcia, 28, of Bassett on suspicion of burglary, conspiracy, possession of skimmer equipment and possession of fraudulent credit card numbers. They were booked into San Luis Obispo County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail.
