(Omaha, NE) -- Three people are facing charges in an ATM skimming scam.
Investigators say the skimming device was located last week at the First National Bank near 84th & Frederick Street. On Monday, two of the three suspects made their initial appearances in Douglas County Court. The first suspect, 36 year old Ciprian Amariutei, is charged with five counts of using of scanning device, criminal impersonation and possession of burglar tools. Police say Amariutei has the impersonation charge because he provided officers with two fake Italian IDs that used a different name. A Department of Homeland Security Agent was brought in on the case, and determined his real identity. Amariutei admitted to police that he is Romanian, is in the United States illegally and is currently on probation for fraud.
The second suspect, 32 year old Mona Tataru, is facing charges of use of a scanning device, criminal impersonation and possession of a controlled substance. She is also from Romania. It's not clear if she is also in the U.S. illegally. Both Amariutei and Tataru had bond set at $1 million.
The third suspect, 36 year old Gianluca Ferrer, is facing the same charges as Amariutei but has not made his first court appearance yet. The FBI has taken over the investigation. First National is issuing new cards for customers impacted and says it's working to refund any fraudulent charges.
