Man sought for trying to steal ATM PINs at North End bank

The Secret Service reports it is looking for this guy in connection with "skimmer" devices placed at ATMs at Century Bank branches at 275 Hanover St. in the North End and in Peabody on Sept. 18 and 19.

The devices, placed over the card slot on a machine, read the user's account number and PIN during a transaction - often through electronics that read the unencrypted account number from the car's magnetic strip and a tiny camera that transmits an image of the card holder's key strokes while entering his or her PIN.
