Crafton police collected surveillance video in hopes it will show who attached the device to the ATM. Police said they don’t know if there are any victims, but one fraudulent skimmer can have a big impact on people’s bank accounts.

Sunoco corporate officials said they believe they found out about the skimmer in time. Company officials said there was no transmitter on the device, so the data was stored in the skimmer.

Officials said they don't believe customer information was put at risk, but police said that customers who used the ATM should check with their bank.
