Federal authorities say four men have been arrested in Connecticut and are accused of taking more than $500,000 from automated teller machines using a method known as “jackpotting.” According to the FBI, the suspects targeted ATMs located at rest stops along Interstate 95, stretching from Darien to New Haven. Prosecutors and investigators say the thefts involved extracting large sums—reported as tens of thousands of dollars at a time—from machines while they were under the scheme’s control. CBS and NBC both report that the total amount stolen exceeds $500,000. The cases are described as involving coordinated activity by the four men across multiple ATM locations in the I-95 corridor. Authorities say the arrests were made in connection with the alleged series of ATM robberies and that investigations have focused on identifying the suspects’ roles in the operation. The reports also indicate that the accusations are tied to the “jackpotting” approach, in which criminals manipulate ATM hardware or software to dispense cash. The FBI says additional investigative steps are ongoing as the matter proceeds through the justice system.
