LINCOLN (AP) — Five California teenagers who may be part of a national ATM fraud scheme have been arrested in Nebraska, authorities said.

The five were arrested Friday and remained in Lancaster County custody Tuesday, Lincoln police spokeswoman Katie Flood said. She didn’t know whether they had been charged.

Court documents said Pinnacle Bank staffers, following up on a customer complaint about trouble with one of its ATMs, found electronic devices attached to three of the bank’s ATMs in Lincoln that "skim" and record bank card numbers and PIN information.

Police staked out the ATMs and soon saw a teenager drive up to one but then drive off without using the machine, according to the Lincoln Journal Star. He resembled a youth who was seen on the ATM’s security camera, planting the device.
