Description

Police removed two illegal electronic skimmers from gas pumps at a Valero station on East Ocean Avenue after receiving a report March 5. The illegal skimmers had been attached to the legitimate card reader in the pump itself, Chisholm said, meaning the thieves were able to open the front of the pump to insert the fake skimmer.
