HUNTERSVILLE – Police are investigating an incident of a camera being placed at a Sam Furr ATM to capture the pin numbers of customers.

An employee found the camera, positioned to spy the pin pad, and a battery pack on the machine, Huntersville Capt. Michael Kee said. It is unclear how long the camera had been there or if it was wirelessly transmitting the video.
