Two men have been indicted for their alleged roles in a scheme that authorities say targeted ATMs in Reno and Sparks, stealing about $76,000 through a method commonly known as ATM jackpotting.
A federal grand jury indicted Kleiber Jovanny Garcia Rojas and Yeiker Andres Diaz-Calatayud, also known as "Jose Soto," on one count each of bank theft.
According to court documents and statements made in court, Garcia Rojas and Diaz-Calatayud installed a digital device on an ATM at a federal credit union on June 3. Authorities allege the device allowed them to bypass security functions without authorization and withdraw cash, resulting in the theft of approximately $76,000.
Both men made their initial court appearances and were ordered detained. A jury trial is scheduled for Sept. 15, 2026.
If convicted, each man faces a maximum statutory penalty of 10 years in prison. Any sentence would be determined by a federal district court judge after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
“As alleged, the defendants hacked into an ATM in northern Nevada and stole approximately $76,000 in cash through a scheme known as ATM jackpotting,” said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah for the District of Nevada. “This indictment is another shining example of our focused efforts with partners in law enforcement to protect financial institutions.”
“Criminal acts, such as ATM jackpotting schemes, significantly disrupt business operations and endanger customers and bystanders,” said Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto of the FBI Las Vegas Field Office. “The FBI has a longstanding commitment to investigating bank robberies, and as criminal tactics evolve, we remain steadfast in our mission to combat violent crime and uphold public safety.”
The FBI, Reno Police Department, and Washoe County Sheriff's Office deputies investigated the case.
