2 Skimming Devices Found On Pumps At Suffolk County Gas Station

LAKE RONKONKOMA, NY – Two skimming devices were found on gas pumps at a Lake Ronkonkoma gas station Tuesday morning, Suffolk Police said.

Two internal skimming devices were discovered on pumps at the Gulf station located at 292 Ronkonkoma Ave. at about 8:15 a.m. by a person who was servicing the machines, police said.

Skimmers capture debit and credit card numbers that thieves can then use to make fraudulent charges and drain bank accounts.

Crime Scene Section officers responded and removed the skimming devices. Anyone with information or who may have used the gas pumps during the past month and believes they may have a victim is asked to contact Identity Theft Unit detectives at 631-852-6821.
