Avens said he is hopeful a video showing the installation at the CashPoints on Julian R. Allsbrook Highway near the old Interstate Inn may help the department gather leads in the case.
“We’re working closely with the bank,” he said this evening. “We have made contact with several agencies across the county and state. We have contacted the Secret Service and SBI.”
Avens said he was not in a position to make a judgment call on whether the ones who installed the devices, which are designed to steal PINS and account information are local.

Thus far two people have come forward saying they used the machine during the time the devices were installed. It is not clear whether their financial information was compromised.
It is also not clear how many people may have used the machine. Those possibilities remain under investigation, Avens said. “The best thing to do is to deactivate your card, get a new one with a new PIN.
“If you used this ATM machine between 8 p.m. on Friday, November 10, and 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 12, please contact your financial institute to be sure that your account has not been compromised.”
Anyone with information on the suspects is encouraged to call the police department at 252-536-3136 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
