The men are accused of removing or trying to remove PIN pads from at least six stores in Rhode Island and Massachusetts and replacing them with alternate machines that would be used to record shoppers' debit or credit card information, authorities said Tuesday. Later, the men would come back and replace the original keypads, police said.
The men were arrested Monday night, when police said they were attempting to switch keypads at a store in Coventry (Rhode Island). A store security officer called police after employees noticed one suspect trying to remove a keypad while two others were trying to distract store workers.
