Two Canadians accused of stealing from ATMs in New Hampshire

Two Canadian men have been arrested after they allegedly stole money from ATMs in the United States.

New Hampshire police began investigating “an organized group of criminals” who were stealing from ATMs in the region. The investigation led officials to believe the suspects were likely working out of a hotel room in Methuen.

Early Saturday morning, officers executed a search warrant at the hotel and found large amounts of cash, gift cards, debit cards, a printing device and a device to activate and utilize bank cards in the suspects’ rental car.

Tharushan Nirmalachandran, 30, of Quebec, Canada, and Ajitharan Rraveendran, 28, of Ontario, Canada, were arrested and charged with possession of a burglarious instrument and receiving stolen property over $1,200.

Both men are being held at $250,000 bail pending a court appearance scheduled for Monday.
