Skimming device found in White Oak gas station pump

WHITE OAK, Pa. — A skimming device was found inside one of the pumps at a White Oak gas station, according to police.

The device was discovered by an employee Friday at the Sunoco station on Lincoln Way. At least one person has come forward to say they were a victim.

Investigators are hoping surveillance video will help them find the source of the device, which can scan and store credit card data from a card’s magnetic stripe.

Once the card is run through the skimmer, the data is recorded and thieves can sell the information to make counterfeit cards.

White Oak police said a skimming device was found at another gas station several months ago, but no one’s credit card information was stolen.

Anyone who thinks they were a victim in this most recent case should call White Oak police.
