Another skimmer has been found on a gas pump in north Salina.

On Monday, shortly before an alarm went off on a pump at Flying J Travel Center, 2250 N. Ohio Street, something similar happened at Pilot Travel Center, 1944 N. Ninth Street.

Employees at Pilot reported to police on Tuesday morning that at 11:20 p.m. Monday, an alarm on one of Pilot's pumps went off. That was approximately 10 minutes before a pump alarm went off at Flying J.

Forrester said that when the alarm activated at Pilot, employees saw a male subject walking from the pump and leaving in a gray tractor pulling a while trailer with a blue stripe down the side. When they went out to the pump, they found the same style skimmer as the two found at Flying J.

Just under $1,000 worth of damage was done to the pump, Forrester said.
