[From article]
Elvin Pineda, 25, and his pal Luis Fernandez were taking apart an ATM at a TD Bank on Bay and Shore parkways at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday when cops on patrol caught them in the act, said police.
The duo told investigators they had tampered with the machines before and regularly shipped the ATM parts to China to be duplicated and used for skimming devices, according to police.
Pineda told cops he had more skimming equipment in his Coney Island pad, so they went for a look and uncovered several hundred credit cards, laptops, special printers and laminators, police said.
Pineda was charged with multiple counts of criminal possession of a forgery device, possession of a forged instrument, possession of a skimmer device, and criminal mischief, cops said.
