UPPER EAST SIDE — Police are looking for two men wanted for stealing more than $8,440 by duplicating debit cards used in an Upper East Side deli's ATM.

The men attached a skimming device to an ATM in the Green Gourmet Deli, located at 790 Lexington Ave., that allowed them to steal debit card information between Dec. 4 and Dec. 8., according to the NYPD.

The suspects then used that data to make duplicate cards, which were used to withdraw money from victims’ accounts, police said.

Surveillance images show one of the suspects withdrawing money from accounts linked to the duplicated cards, police said. 

Police ask that anyone with information call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
