Man admits stealing more than $1 million from ATMs in Philly, Montgomery and Delaware counties
NORRISTOWN — A Philadelphia man who serviced ATM machines for a Whitpain Township business has admitted to stealing more than $1.1 million from more than three dozen machines in Montgomery, Delaware and Philadelphia locations.
Nicholas Jordan Anderson, 24, of the 3200 block of West Willard Street, pleaded guilty in Montgomery County Court to a felony charge of theft by unlawful taking or disposition in connection with incidents that occurred between 2021 and 2022.
Judge Wendy G. Rothstein deferred sentencing so that court officials can complete a background investigation report about Anderson, including drug, alcohol and mental health evaluations.
The open guilty plea means Anderson has no deals with prosecutors regarding his potential sentence.
Anderson faces a possible maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison on the felony charge. However, state sentencing guidelines could allow for a lesser sentence.
Anderson, who remains free on bail pending sentencing, is expected to be sentenced in May.
Assistant District Attorney Tanner C. Beck is handling the case. Defense lawyer Leon Dominic Goodman represents Anderson.
An investigation began in August 2022 when Whitpain Township police responded to the 300 block of Sentry Parkway for a report by an employee of Diebold Nixdorf, a financial and technology company that installs and services automated teller machines, or ATMs.
An employee of the business reported he was alerted by the fraud department about “frequent and significant shortages at 47 ATM locations in Montgomery, Philadelphia and Delaware counties,” according to the criminal complaint filed by Whitpain Police Officer Brad Potter.
Officials reported Anderson was the ATM technician who was on location at all the sites when the machines came up short in cash, according to the arrest affidavit.
Anderson subsequently met with company officials to discuss his employment and during the meeting he was told he would no longer be provided a company-issued vehicle.
After Anderson left the meeting, a company employee went through what had been Anderson’s company vehicle and found $12,050 cash, in $50 denominations wrapped in rubber bands, as well as a Glock 23 handgun and a prescription medication bottle belonging to Anderson in a black bag.
Investigators alleged that Anderson had serviced ATM locations from Oct. 14, 2021, to Aug. 6, 2022.
“Forty-seven ATM locations were serviced by Anderson and United States currency was missing from these forty-seven locations,” Potter alleged.
A total of $1,132,545 in currency was missing from the 47 locations, according to the arrest affidavit.
Other charges of receiving stolen property are slated to be dismissed against Anderson at time of sentencing.
