The Vero Beach Police Department has issued a community alert seeking assistance in identifying two suspects involved in a financial crime at a local bank. Investigators have released descriptions of two men captured on surveillance footage installing an illegal skimming device on an ATM.
The incident took place at approximately 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday at the TD Bank branch located at 4100 20th Street (State Road 60). Surveillance video shows the suspects attaching the skimming device to the cash-dispensing area of the machine.
Authorities are asking residents to review the specific descriptions provided to help identify the individuals responsible. While no vehicle description is currently available, the surveillance footage has provided detailed physical descriptions of the two men:
- Suspect 1: Described as a white male in his mid-30s, standing approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall with a slim build. He has dark hair and facial hair. During the incident, he was seen carrying a small shoulder bag and wearing a light-colored jacket paired with dark pants.
