TAIPEI, Taiwan — At least five foreign suspects could be involved in operations that saw over NT$80 million stolen from First Commercial Bank (第一銀行) automatic teller machines, investigators said Wednesday.

Two Russians stole NT$70 million worth of cash from First Bank ATMs and managed to flee the country on Monday. Apart from the two Russian suspects, the other suspects were Caucasian, police said, citing surveillance footage, local media reported.

The two Russians were identified as a 34-year-old, surnamed Berezovskiy, and a 28-year-old, surnamed Berkman, Apple Daily said.

Police have identified the third suspect — Peregudovs Andrenjs, a 40-year-old Latvian man — using surveillance footage and other evidence, though he is still at large. He has been barred from leaving the country.     [FULL  STORY]
