Police charged two Cary men with a sophisticated scheme that enabled them to illegally withdraw cash from their victims' credit-card and debit-card accounts through ATMs across the Triangle.

Loc Huu Bui, 37, of 102 Woodglen Drive in Cary, was charged with 11 felony counts of financial card theft with a scanning device and nine counts of financial card fraud. And Nghi Huu Bui, 35, of 107 Otter Drive in Cary, was charged with nine counts of financial card theft with a scanning device and 11 counts of financial card fraud, according to the City-County Bureau of Identification.

Police have accused the men of purchasing electronic parts from a New York company to construct "skimmers," devices that capture and store credit card, bank and personal identification numbers, according to court records.

Police first became interested in the Buis after a security camera showed Loc Bui using others' card numbers at an ATM on Holly Springs Road in Cary. The men also were spotted by Raleigh ATM cameras at a SunTrust bank branch at 5135 New Hope Road in Raleigh and at a State Employees Credit Union on Creedmoor Road in Raleigh, court records show.

Police think the Buis inserted the skimmers inside gas pumps in Raleigh at 2701 S. Saunders St., 4100 New Hope Road and 2201 W. Millbrook Road, court records show.
