Two skimmers have been located on pumps at a north Salina gas station.
At approximately 11:58 a.m. on Sunday Officers were sent to Petro 2, 2125 North Ninth Street, for the report of a skimmer on a pump, Salina Police Sergeant Kyle Tonniges reported Monday.
"While an employee was out there wiping down the pumps he noticed a piece on the exterior that didn't look like it belonged there. He took a closer look and realized it was a skimmer attached to the front of the pump," Tonniges said.
Tonngies also said a portion of the skimmer was located inside the pump. After checking other pumps located at Petro 2, officers discovered similar wiring at a second pump.
Tonniges said no victims have reported their fincacial information compromised in connection to the skimmers found at Petro 2.
"Sometimes if we're lucky and we catch these soon enough, everybody's data's still intact within the system," Tonniges said. "They'll [scammers] usually put them in there and then they come back and get the data off at a later point."
Tonniges said surveillance footage was obtained from Petro 2, but could not confirm if the footage showed the portion of the pump used to place the skimmers.
