The suspect walked into the 7-Eleven at 5632 Ridge Avenue just after 11 a.m. on Nov. 25 and immediately approached the ATM, detectives said. An employee witness told police she saw him "acting suspiciously" near the machine.

The next day, staff found a card reading device and a small video camera attached to the ATM, police said. Investigators later determined the devices were capturing card information and PIN numbers entered on the machine.
