MANHATTAN — Police are looking for two men suspected of stealing more than $7,800 by stealing debit card numbers from Upper East Side ATMs.

The suspects attached skimming devices to cash machines at a CVS pharmacy at 420 Fifth Ave. and a Bank of America at 21 East 96th St., the NYPD said.

The stolen debit card information was used to create duplicate cards and to withdraw money from victims' accounts, police said. The withdrawals took place between October and December, according to the NYPD. 

Surveillance images released by police show the suspects as they allegedly withdrew the stolen money.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or visit its website.
