- New exclusive video shows dramatic arrest of four accused members of an international crime ring believed to be behind sophisticated ATM skimmers across Houston.
Romanians are dominating in ATM scam in Europe, they call it a job. 💔💔💔💔💔💔
Oh Yeah. Sucks they don't have life sentence in EU for it, unlike in USA.
Are they gypsy Romanians ???
Those are gypsies guys not Romanians ..
Yup!
Ulrich troll 👎
These scumbags are also on every corner begging for money in teams beyond the lockout
everywhere!
Yep, with a sign saying their kid has cancer or is dead.
They don’t do it very long in Pearland, da police will stop to assist them : )
Yes with kids too
The worse of the worse.
These Romanian families have travelled all over the world, for yrs, doing this, plus furtively robbing jewellery stores, while diverting attention away from staff
They are in the Caribbean as well
They are Gypsies bro , not Romanian guys 😅
Which islands?
Yeah they r up.for no good. Us should ban them from comin in
Those are gypsies ..
Life without parole seems reasonable.
Very
@@SuperEmpathOneyep, this causes a lot of stress on people.
They all made bond I’m sure 😂
Na. Jan 6 protesters will get that. These dudes be out in a week
Why should we have to pay for them to be imprisoned here? Deport their asses back to Romania!
These people are everywhere. Tons of scams.

Those are gypsies not Romanians
He set quite a precedent by sending the "smartest" guy he knows all around the world to be his bag man for years.@@Romans12_18
Skimming rackets existed WAAAY before any Biderz, Donutalds, Clintz, and Bushez.
What a way to deflect and distract and take away that schemes and scamming is becoming more and more prevelant these days than it ever has before.
What you are saying does not excuse the issue because in your opinion there's always been scammers before in the past.. So let's make it worse and keep letting the problem grow and grow spiral out of control and do nothing about it.
Just because someone may have a stolen candy bar from the grocery store everytime they went grocery shopping in years past doesn't mean it is o.k. for that person to now feel comfortable enough to show up at the grocery store every other week now and unload the entire truck full of candy bars. @@Novastar.SaberCombat

Great to know this investigating team is working so hard.
Thank you for reporting this and thanks for Law Enforcement Task Team hard work.
Indeed thank God there are people who have a conscience of law and order who are against evildoers who are not trying to whitewash the criminals as far as justifying excusing away and attacking those who disagree with their criminality.
This is why we need to keep praying to Jesus Christ that the conscience of people isn't dead that God awakens consciousness that got awakens people's spirits to be against evil.
Evel cannot flourish where people respect God where people seek to honor God
It's about time! This has been going on for 20 years and the bureaus only been around for two, the criminals have almost two decades of technical expertise ahead of them!
Then the Government wants the rest of the population to be least technologically skilled and it's just too late for them to implement that, the know how is already out!
This is big news. Why is it only on Houston news outlets? This should be on like USA Today or Good morning america.
Are they illegal?
Wrong skin color, wrong border. Media is owned by corporations and their owners want more tax cuts
@@jasonheilinger8437yea they used inside help to cross the Canadian border, its a very sophisticated system according to the news reporter and detective.
@@jasonheilinger8437 I wouldn't care if they were citizens of this country, if they are wiping out hard-working people's entire savings, causing folk to get evicted and lose their cars/homes/self-respect, they should be locked up for life. Especially if they've spent all of their victim's money and none can be returned. In mine and other affluent western European countries, the government will at least not allow one to be evicted or have their homes foreclosed after the investigation confirms the theft. In your country, the gov't just repossess the stolen items, keeps it and sells it at auction. It should be liquidated, and monies dispensed to those that were stolen from!
This is underrepresented group 😂
Their stories don't get told enough. Thank you
They were so focused on credit cards skimmer, they had no idea how prevalent license plate readers are in this country.
@@789_.yea because of the 4th amendment they would basically be constantly searching and supervising your life unconstitutionally
You ever think that maybe people are stealing because wages are shit? And cost of living is high? It’s just desperation to thrive in this world that’s what it is
@789_. Privacy is mostly a leftist's circus . What they dont realize is that as soon as you utilize the Internet.. you gave it all up .. specifically Google!

Pretty sure in the U.K. They’d arrest you for saying they’re Gypsy thieves. It would be like getting arrested for saying the sky is blue.
Yep, "Gypsy thieves" is a fit term.

They're gypsy. The name Jean is a gypsy name.
@@mikel4879gypsy or crows , how we call it :))
Well, not all Romanians are Gypsies and not all Gypsies are Romanians. There are Gypsies from France, Spain, Latin America, etc. That being said, a lot of them are actually blood related.
Thank you for reporting about the Northern border. People don't realize how dangerous life has become up there.
They crossed the northern border. Then went all the way to Texas to start committing crimes? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😂😂
@saltybobbo3324 My point is that criminals are coming through the northern border, and there aren't many people talking about it. The northern border is more secure than the southern border, so how are they getting in?

These are the European migrants
No, they are European illegals by way of Canada.
Illegals and they identity as blak
Exactly!!! No MAGA goons screamed and howled,and no propagandists/ fear mongering phony news channels sounded the alarm ..probably law enforcement didn’t even harassed and profiled them..given the millions that they accumulated..
These shtbags are a drop in the bucket compared to millions upon millions of other various third world invaders that are allowed to come into this country via the southern border and scam.
Deport them
This is going on here in England and it's the same people who are working all over the world
Good job law enforcement. Noone can afford to have their bank account drained by crooks.
Well done law enforcement!
The southern border is immigrants walking in, but Canada iborder is not being reported of foreigners flying in. Canada needs to watched even more than Mexico.
Have you seen the Mexicans flying into Canada then just have a little walk into USA ? 😂
Gypsy's getting technical! Uh oh.
Well done law enforcement
Thank you for working hard to protect us 👏🏻
Thank you so much for your service 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The real question is will they be released without bond interested to come back to court when it’s time?
Yeah kinda like catch and release programs promoted by Democratic progressives.
I guess we’re going to have to close the American/Canadian now.
Thank you. It amazes me why everyone just focuses on the Southern Border while the northern one has more holes in it than swiss cheese. You and I both know why it was so easy for them to get in. The lack of melanin.
@@rubym.771what do you mean? You don’t enjoy millions of “international students” from third world countries living 50 people per house? As a Canadian I enjoy hearing Arabic, Punjabi and Hindi everyday. The guttural sounds and curry smell make me feel like I’m on another planet.
@@rubym.771 lol, there is a big problem of black Americans bringing in drugs and guns to Canada through unchecked points at the border. Its basically the only way how one can buy a glock here.
The southern border isnt closed, yet.
@@rubym.771The problems coming from the southern border is massive compared to the northern border. Canada actually tries to stop troublemakers from crossing.
I live in los angeles county... u have no idea what you're talking about
😮😮In Michigan there were 2 of these fellas arrested in Oakland Co. last weekend. They are everywhere!!!
Even here in Sacramento. I see them scamming at Target when i used to work there and i see them at a bunch of Gas stations here been approached a couple times already. Lol.
@@shawnkay5462 they put scanners on credit card machines here and when they were caught, they fled and eluded. They're both being held on 1m bond.
Sad thing is they're both young and already thieves. Smh
There's an entire encampment of them at the Wal-Mart in Troy.
@@PrinceAsmodeus omg😳😳
so does the victims get their money back? make sure these guys have their bank account drained
No probably not that's why a credit card is better then a debit card much easier to dispute the charges.
they may not put ing their money in the banks
Not in your country, but in Denmark we have a system that will help the victims of financial crimes. We raise money from the stolen items we seize.

For the amount of taxes we pay in the US they should be stopping more of these types of crimes. Its sad to see so many elderly lose their life savings after paying so much in taxes to not be protected!
Thank Biden for the open border policy, and the soft on crime , no bail, etc. lunatic policies.
Thousands of these criminals are here now, and you will see the results in the very near future.
Also, cover your hand when entering your ATM PIN.
Life in prison without any chance of parole.
Florida got hit hard recently, only going to get worse everywhere!
Nice journalism, KHOU!
Always cover the pin pad with your other hand.This has been a constant problem in UK for decades.Looking at the ATM you will not notice the cover and camera with your eyes
🤔🤔🤔 So a "security camera" do not record anyone INSTALLING these thieving devices??!! 😒 Make it make sense!!!!! 😖
Good point
Kudos to the police task force! Outstanding job! They should be sharing this with the FBI so other states can do the same crackdown.
The fbi is busy following parents at school meetings, and concocting fake kidnap and “insurrection “ stories.
Grateful and God Bless All the Good Guys, ☝️🙏🖖💛⚖️🌎✌️💯✋😞
Yesterday, here in Los Angeles, I saw one of the gypsy women sitting on the floor outside of a bank...right next to the ATM.
(What's wrong with this picture.)
But but but that’s diversity. If you don’t like it that’s called racism.
There it is.
Yep. No shame. Distracting folks at ATM so person hurries up. They swarmed me at a Phoenix Walmart lot trying to distract me. I know they were hoping to grab my purse but I no longer carry one. I wear a waist pack under my shirt. Still unsettling to have all this behavior intending to distract. You never quite know what their ultimate goal is but you know it's not good for you.
Romanians are going to use their ATM in prison now.
inorder to pay...........BUBBA ? 🦍
@@peterheeley8206 yep.
Credit card machines and ATMs should all be shutdown and not allowed to be used until the manufacturers either change them all out with machines that detect foreign objects that are connected to them and or eliminate this.
Great idea, it is kinda ridiculous that the tech is there but again they’re not losing the money we are.
It'll never happen. Corporations don't care if YOU lose money. They only care if THEY lose cashish. And since they ain't, then it don't matter. 💪😎✌️ In some cases, ATM MFCs and technicians are brought aboard the crime ring project. It's pretty awesome, actually. Easy money!
@@Novastar.SaberCombatthey don’t care until the SEC mandates that they retrofit their ATMs with foreign object detection technology. They’ll care then.
I fell for a atm skimmer in houston. They drained 500 from my account and left me penniless on the side of the roal. Learned my lesson
That's terrible 😞. I'm sorry you went through this
@@CandiceMMartinez yes luckily it was my walmart prepaid card. I usually keep my money on a different card I never take anywhere in public. And only load this prepaid card for gas and food. It was terrible but walmart refunded me my money back 4 days later but I had to beg my dad to send me money so I could go back home to Tennessee. These fraudsters are terrible people
@@ryanmax-grappler8654 It's because there are no consequences for migrants. They seem to have a form of diplomatic immunity
Thank you for your service guys
Usual suspects
Roma are now the new usual suspects?
Yeah illegal aliens walking over border.
That never gets exposed. These yt folks love hiding the crimes they commit but will expose black people all day every day.
Illegals????
Generic racism?
Crime coming from both borders.
Pay with cash especially at gas stations
But also assume that people are watching you and will follow you (jugging) so don't flash any extra cash.
God Bless our law enforcement and the great work they do. Thank you.
$123 million is so little compared to corruption theft crime. Why don't we see multiple arrests of the corrupt? Why aren't there more corrupt in prison?
ah yes, open borders brings so much diversity and inclusion to the US
Years ago Michael Savage talked about ,borders language culture,he was a decade ahead predicting this.😎
Yup smdh
These criminals are not going through any borders! Haha. They are active all over the world. They will fly in and fly out. A million fake passports, Counterfeit money, etc.
@neck you're ignorant. There's people born here who are scamming.
America was built on slavery and immigrants, can't complain now. U either take the crime with the cheap labor and tax base or you build ur own country and the latter ain't happening😂
Fantastic teamwork!
Moved to Pearland about 6 years back, some people complain about the police, we love them. It’s a very nice community that criminals don’t like to venture into : )
God help us, this is only the beginning and it's across the country
Its not even summer yet.
It's time for the United States to clean house.
As Dylan said, you have to flush out your house unless you are housing flushes.
Don't insert your card into any machine and use tap and go to pay for things.
And if you use the tap feature make sure you log out at the screen or your session stays open for 30 secs after you walk away.
Kudos to the investigative team. Hope the victims get their money back.
Unfortunately They won’t
Excellent work! THANK YOU!!
Greed is what drives these people. And Greed is ultimately what brings them down. I bet there are so many drug kingpins and financial criminals we have never heard of because they know how to stop when they are ahead. I bet there were guys much more richer than Pablo Escobar. We just never heard of them because they knew their limits and didn't care about being flashy. Kudos to the Law Enforcement in Texas.
Interesting. Now i'm curious how do they stop themselves from becoming too greedy.
They don't stop because it's their BRAIN and values that make them do it in the first place, their brain is wired to seeing the world a certain way and these people don't change. Once they get a Tesla then they'll want the new Tesla truck, once their wife gets a mansion, then they'll want a mansion for their daughter, once they dine at a 5 star restaurant they'll want to do it not once but 5 times a week, once they travel to Paris and stay at the RITZ, then they'll want to travel all over the world and stay at the RITZ everywhere...... That's why the rich want to be richer! Poor people think, if I just had a small house it would be enough but just like poor people buy ONE cheap item at walmart they would other stuff and go back for more........ Also THIEFS Make their money from theft, not from work! If they manage to buy a mansion then stop stealing, how and from where will they get the money to pay the yearly taxes on that mansion? Which could be 20 thousand a year! Homes are never fully paid, cars need maintenance etc etc etc...... People who work make their money and it keeps flowing in, thiefs without robbing have no means, degrees or jobs to earn money. You are wrong
because they lay low for awhile before starting back up.@@geddon436
Its way bigger than just those four guys 🤯👀🤫🧠💯
The ATM skimmers almost got me in London, UK for over $6,500. Lucky for me, my bank covered the loss.
Should it not go thru for such a high amount of money.? Anything over 5k should decline.
Interesting how no one is saying "deport them" or "send them back"... 🤔
Exactly
Teach the rest of law enforcement how to catch scammers. Most go unscathed for years if they ever even get caught 🤷♂️ bravo HPD👏

Not surprised an airbnb is involved.
Tell your local city council and mayor that you also want License plate reader cameras in your community... Also, that you want to ban paper plates, and increase the penalties for fake plates.
Great reporting and great investigative work by law enforcement. No place should be a "candyland" for criminals to set up shop victimize others. We all know those criminals wouldn't want that to happen to themselves (what they were doing), so maybe they can learn after being busted. I believe law enforcement is here to awaken reform in those doing evil.
That slimming device they slide into ATMs could be prevented with a pretty simple redesign.
Just have four switch gates inside the units - in random locations from unit to unit. Inserting a card would engage all of the switches, but inserting those devices would only engage a small number of them. If they're not engaged the ATM does nothing and if some are engaged while others are disengaged for too long the whole machine shuts down.
In Romania, there's a crime boss , who lives in huge mansion, where he has huge members doing crimes for him, even minors he taught them to commit crimes from misdemeanor to felony
They have this problem in MASS .
