Berkley Police Warn After Skimmer, Camera Found on MSU FCU Drive‑Thru ATM

Detectives are coordinating with the credit union to identify suspects.

Overview

  • Security staff responded to an ATM alarm on Oct. 12 at the Coolidge Highway branch and found a card skimmer and a small camera.
  • Police say the devices appear to have been installed overnight and active for only hours, with no confirmed customer impact so far.
  • Investigators are probing possible links to similar incidents at other MSU Federal Credit Union locations in the area.
  • Berkley police released photos of the recovered equipment and urged users to inspect exterior ATMs, shield PINs, and report suspicious attachments.
  • The FBI notes skimming schemes often use reader overlays or insertable devices with PIN‑capturing cameras and cost consumers and banks more than $1 billion annually.
