Seven skimming devices were found installed on pump No. 1 and numbers 11 through 16, police said.
What are skimmers?
Simmers are used to harvest credit and debit card information, including PINs, whenever a customer swipes the card. That information can then be used by criminals to make unauthorized purchases.
What should you do?
Police said anyone who frequents the store should closely monitor their accounts and contact their bank or credit card company to cancel and replace their cards.
Who should you contact?
Anyone with information about who may have installed the devices is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477.
