BOULDER - Detectives are looking for a man who gained access to a Boulder woman's bank account and withdrew over $11,000 dollars from it.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office say the suspect likely did it by "skimming" at an ATM. A skimmer is a device that records your card information and pin number and can be placed on machines that use credit and debit cards, like ATMs.
Authorities say this same suspect is believed to be involved in several other skimming cases in the Denver metro area.
Deputies say more than $100,000 was stolen from multiple victims in those cases.
Anyone with information about the case or the suspect is asked to call the Boulder County Sheriff's Office at 303-441-3641.
