当局表示，四名男子因涉嫌在康涅狄格州各地针对ATM机实施“提款劫持”诈骗并窃取超过50万美元而面临联邦指控。“提款劫持”是一种抢劫手段，指通过硬件或恶意软件迫使ATM机吐出机内存储现金的作案手法。
据康涅狄格州区检察官办公室和纽黑文联邦调查局透露，28岁的欧克莱德斯·莫雷诺·伊塔纳雷、49岁的威廉·里卡多·弗洛雷斯、41岁的阿尔贝托·何塞·弗雷特斯·阿维拉和38岁的路易斯·何塞·弗雷特斯·阿维拉均已因涉嫌该诈骗案被捕。每名男子均面临跨州运输赃物罪和共谋罪指控。若罪名成立，第一项罪名最高可判处10年监禁，第二项罪名最高可判处5年监禁。
当局称，这些男子分别来自北卡罗来纳州罗利市、纽约州布朗克斯区和皇后区以及马萨诸塞州林恩市。据地区检察官和联邦调查局消息，他们均为委内瑞拉公民。
联邦当局表示，2025年8月8日至8月18日期间，这些男子涉嫌在康涅狄格州多处地点的至少9台ATM机上尝试窃取现金，其中数台位于95号州际公路沿线。盗窃案共涉及8台ATM机，分布在米尔福德市以及费尔菲尔德、布兰福德、麦迪逊和达里恩的休息区。位于安索尼阿市的第9台ATM机安装了防盗软件，未能让盗窃得逞。
从这8台ATM机中，这些男子据称共窃取了529220美元。
当局表示，监控录像记录下了这些事件，录像显示每起盗窃的作案手法相似。路易斯·弗雷特斯·阿维拉担任“望风”，阿尔贝托·弗雷特斯·阿维拉打开ATM机并操作其内部结构后离开现场。在接下来的几个小时里，路易斯·弗雷特斯·阿维拉、伊塔纳雷和弗洛雷斯轮流从ATM机中提取现金，有时还会更换衣服后多次靠近同一台ATM机。
据美国司法部和联邦调查局消息，美国境内的“提款劫持”案件数量呈上升趋势。在2月发布的一份报告显示，2020年以来报告的1900起案件中，仅2025年就发生了700多起。报告称，这些案件造成的被盗金额超过2000万美元。

Four men have been federally charged for allegedly stealing more than half a million dollars in a “jackpotting” scheme that targeted ATM machines across Connecticut, authorities said. “Jackpotting” is a type of heist method that involves using hardware or malware to force an ATM to dispense the money it has stored inside.
Euclides Moreno Itanare, 28, Willian Ricardo Flores, 49, Alberto Jose Freites Arvilla, 41, and Luis Jose Freites Arvilla, 38, have all been arrested in connection with the alleged scheme, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New Haven. Each man faces charges for interstate transportation of stolen property and conspiracy. If convicted, they could receive up to 10 years in prison for the first charge and up to five years in prison for the second.
Authorities said the men are from Raleigh, North Carolina; the Bronx and Queens, New York; and Lynn, Massachusetts. They’re all also Venezuelan citizens, according to the district attorney and the FBI.
The men allegedly tried to steal cash from at least nine ATM machines at various sites in Connecticut, several of which were located along Interstate 95, between Aug. 8 and Aug. 18, 2025, federal authorities said. The thefts occurred at eight ATMs, in the city of Milford and at rest stops in Fairfield, Branford, Madison and Darien. A ninth ATM in the city of Ansonia was equipped with software that prevented the theft from going through.
Of the money taken from those eight machines, the men allegedly stole $529,220.
The incidents were captured on surveillance footage, which appeared to show that each theft was carried out in a similar way, authorities said. Luis Freites Arvilla acted as “a lookout” while Alberto Freites Arvilla opened the ATM and accessed its internal parts before leaving the area. Over the next several hours, Luis Freites Arvilla, Itanare and Flores would take turns withdrawing cash from the machine, in some cases changing their clothes before approaching the same ATM multiple times.
“Jackpotting” incidents are on the rise in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI. In a report issued in February, federal investigators said that of 1,900 incidents reported since 2020, more than 700 of them occurred in 2025 alone. Those resulted in more than $20 million stolen, according to the report.
