Columbia Police arrest ATM 'jackpotting' suspect

On Nov. 26, Columbia Police arrested Antoni Jesus Garcia-Cordoba, 42, of North Carolina, on a warrant for his involvement in ATM "jackpotting" incidents. Multiple police departments from other states advised Columbia Police detectives that Garcia-Cordoba was a suspect of thefts from ATMs.

Pennsylvania State Police informed CPD that Garcia-Cordoba stopped in Columbia. Detectives were able to locate and arrest Garcia-Cordoba at a short-term rental. After serving a search warrant on the residence, detectives were able to locate evidence involved in the scheme.

The Columbia Police Department would like to thank the Pennsylvania State Police for their assistance in this apprehension that likely protected our local businesses, as well as many other potential victims.
