Salina Post
Salina Police are currently searching for the suspects that reportedly committed consecutive bank crimes in town.
According to the Salina Police Department (SPD) on Monday, employees from Solomon State Bank (605 E Magnolia) reported that unknown suspect(s) gained access to their ATM and removed the hard drive from it.
SPD stated the suspect(s) allegedly stole the hard drive (valued at $1,500) for the purpose of attempting to download malware onto it for "jackpotting" attacks, which would force the machine to dispense large amounts of cash.
Before the crime, there was a report on Sunday, September 21st about a black Honda Fit that was in the area of 645 E. Magnolia. A witness stated there were two males, wearing masks and taking pictures of the area.
Later that same day, another report stated there were 'several people messing with an ATM' at the Bank of the Plains on the 1900 block of S. Ohio. Afterwards, these suspects drove to Exchange Bank (1720 S. Ohio St.).
SPD did not say what exactly the suspects committed at Exchange Bank.
The investigation is ongoing.
