Good morning, Nashville. Some traveling thieves are thought have left Nashville with upwards of $30,000 in stolen cash from an organized ATM skimming operation targeted at bank ATMs around Nashville.

The suspects reportedly travel from city to city placing the skimming devices and then removing them when they leave.
