San Bernardino Police Department officers were called to a Bank of America ATM located on the 2011 block of E. Highland Avenue on Thursday.
Surveillance video showed two suspects placing "a skimming device underneath the sticker affixed to the side of an ATM machine," according to SBPD.
One of the suspects was still at the scene when authorities arrived and he was taken into custody without any altercation.
It's unclear how much money the suspects managed to steal or if they obtained personal identification numbers.
