YORK COUNTY — York County Sheriff ’s deputies and area police are seeking to talk to a “person of interest” in connection with the discovery of “skimming” devices found on ATMs in Sanford, Waterboro and Wells early Saturday.

In a social media posting, sheriff ’s deputies said the devices are sophisticated, and that two were used to capture the PIN and card data of unsuspecting customers.

One device was a fake card slot that fit over the real slot to make the machine looked unaltered. Another device was a small camera hidden above the keypad that captured PINs.

“We believe the thieves planned to burn the data onto a blank card to access the victim’s funds,” deputies said in the posting.

Sheriff William King on Saturday night said Sanford Institution for Savings branches in south Sanford near the roundabout, on Route 5 in Waterboro and on Route 1 in Wells were targeted.

Bank employees found the device at the Waterboro location early Saturday morning. Law enforcement and bank security officials worked quickly to check existing ATM machines in the area.

As of 5 p.m. Saturday, no customers had reported that their funds were accessed.

The person in the accompanying photo is considered a person of interest, and police are asking that if anyone knows the identity or has information about the skimming operation to contact their nearest law enforcement agency.

Police offered tips to help protect consumers:

• Cover your PIN with your hand when you enter it.

• Use familiar ATM machines, and limit your visits.

• Check your balances frequently.

• Inspect the ATM – if something looks out of place, do not use it, and alert bank officials.
