2 Venezuelan nationals arrested in Albany ATM theft

ALBANY, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Two Venezuelan nationals were arrested early Thursday morning in Albany, accused of stealing money from an ATM at Clear Fork Bank.

According to the Shackelford County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to reports of suspicious activity at the bank’s drive-through on October 16 at around 3:40 a.m. When they arrived, they found multiple suspects involved in the theft.

Oliveres Davila, Luis Jose, and Silva Guette Eliober were taken into custody as they attempted to leave the scene. A second vehicle and additional people were spotted nearby and are believed to be connected to the incident.

Police say the crime appears to involve “jackpotting,” a sophisticated method used to access and withdraw cash from ATMs illegally. A substantial amount of money was stolen, but the exact total has not been released.

Authorities clarified that the two Venezuelan nationals are asylum seekers and that there is no indication they are in the country illegally.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Shackelford County Sheriff’s Office at (325) 762-9555.
