The Bank of Montreal alerted police to the men after observing suspicious activity in a number of accounts. "Protect your pin" doesn't even begin to cover it...

Police seized more than $100,000 cash, a laptop, a debit card reader and about 100 counterfeit debit cards from the hotel room and rental car of the men.

Police believe the counterfeit debit cards contain real customer information that had previously been skimmed and was now allowing them to withdraw the money.

Cops are still unsure how many bank customers are involved, where they live, and where the men might have obtained their data.
