Four men from New York by way of Russia and Kazakhstan were charged with 
felonies after allegedly stealing financial information from ATMs in 
Skokie.

Irmiyo Izraelov, 24; Bakai Marat-Uulu, 23; Yevgeniy A. Dubovskiy, 24; and 
Konstantin Miroshnikov, 24, all of Brooklyn, appeared in bond court 
Sunday, accused of identity theft.

Prosecutors alleged a Chase bank branch in the northern suburb was 
informed Dec. 1 that a skimming device had been attached to an ATM. Bank 
officials pulled video footage from the ATM and determined the four men 
were responsible.

The bank then got another report of a skimming device on an ATM on Dec. 
10, and again identified the four men as the ones responsible. They were 
arrested the same day. Police found card readers, decoders and other 
identity theft equipment in the men's car and the hotel room where they 
were staying, prosecutors said.
