Credit Card Skimmers Found On Seymour Gas Pumps

Last updated on Monday, April 18, 2016

(SEYMOUR) - Just days after Jackson County police issued a statement advising people to be on the lookout for credit card skimmers at gas pumps, one showed up at a gas station in Seymour.

Police responded to a report of a card skimmer being found Friday morning at the Circle K at Tipton and O'Brien streets.

A skimmer is an electronic device that is placed between the card reader and the modem system, and it saves all the credit cards that run through the credit card system on the pump, says Seymour Detective Greg O'Brien.

The discovery of a skimmer in Seymour follows recent reports of the devices being found in both Bartholomew and Scott counties, including two skimmers found in Columbus on Friday morning.
