Two Chicago men remained in the Limestone County Jail Tuesday after each was charged with 82 counts of encoded data fraud for allegedly using credit cards to steal cash from ATM machines, Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson said.

Frederik Juhl, 35, and Viorel Florinel Ivanica, 28, both of 6177 N. Lincoln Ave., were arrested Saturday evening on the charges and remained in the Limestone County Jail Tuesday with bail set at $202,500 each.

The police chief was tight-lipped about the theft case but did have this to say:

“Bank personnel (the chief did not say which bank) had alerted officers to a theft occurring at the U.S. 72 East locations. When officers Mac McWhorter and Sgt. Daniel McNatt arrived, they found Frederik and Ivanica with 82 credit type cards. The information on the cards had been changed at some point. This allowed Frederik and Ivanica to obtain cash from the ATM. Both suspects were interviewed by Investigators Johnathan Caldwell and Jarrod Smith. The suspects were booked at the police department and transferred to the county jail. The investigation into this case is continuing and we can’t release any more information at this time.”
