More than two dozen people who used prepaid debit cards to steal from ATMs at banks around New Jersey have been arrested, according to three law enforcement sources.
The sources told NJ Advance Media this is a multi-jurisdictional investigation in several New Jersey counties and in New York. The scam appears to be exploiting a glitch in Santander ATMs where the people were able to continue to withdraw amounts using prepaid debit cards, two sources said.

This was NOT in a city, but a suburban area.
This was an organized attack.
Heads up.
Does the money come out of unsuspecting customer accounts?
Santander got in a jam over allegedly deceptive lending practices regarding car loans to people who shouldn’t be able to qualify for loans in the first place.

It appears that the glitch allowed people with prepaid debit cards so the money came from the bank, not anyone’s accounts.
“Santander got in a jam over allegedly deceptive lending practices regarding car loans to people who shouldn’t be able to qualify for loans in the first place.”
Meaning they were called racist if they didn’t give certain people loans and racist when they held them to the contract?
From 'The Man'.
Victimless crime.
I would make a terrible thief.
Do those idiots realize that the ATM takes the picture of all the people who go up to it.
The probably figure they can play the race card and not get in trouble so in other words they do not give a hoot they most likely smiled bigly.
This wasn’t just in NY & NJ. Bristol, Plainville, and Southington CT were involved in this as well.

They may have Covidtized themselves.
#8. Don’t tell the crooks that they were being photographed at the ATMs. They might were Coronavirus masks next time - out on no-bail, I assume.
I also assume they were violating “social distancing” rules so under Dur Fuerher Murphy’s rule, they must be shot.
Isn't that one of the characteristics of terrorist operations?
There's no way a bunch of random people figured out this scam on their own and just so happened to cash in the same day in multiple locations.
Somebody coordinated this, I'd like to know who.
