Multiple Skimming Fraud Suspects Apprehended in Last 24 Hours

By Idy Perl

Following last week's report by Rockland Daily detailing the discovery of EBT skimming devices at the Madanim grocery in New Square, similar incidents have surfaced in heimishe groceries across Boro Park and Williamsburg.

In a significant development, authorities have made a series of arrests in the city within the last 24 hours. Two suspects were apprehended last night in Flatbush, followed by the arrest of two additional suspects this afternoon in Williamsburg. These arrests mark a crucial step towards halting this troubling trend.

Questions arise regarding whether these apprehended individuals are linked to the Madanim suspects or represent a separate group. Only time will provide clarity.

Amidst these developments, it is important for consumers to remain vigilant. Always inspect payment terminals before use, ensuring there are no false covers, to safeguard against potential skimming attempts.
