Bucks County Card Skimming Suspects Caught On Camera

Police have released photos of suspects wanted in connection with an ATM skimming device scheme in Bucks County that included capturing customers' card and PIN numbers as they withdrew cash.

The Philadelphia Police Department on Thursday announced it is seeking the public's help in identifying the men they believe placed skimming devices on ATMs in Bucks County, as well as in Philadelphia and Montgomery County.

Police did not reveal the specific locations of the Bucks County ATMs that have been compromised, but they said "in multiple incidents" a device was placed over an ATM card reader and a second device was placed over the machine's cash dispenser.

There have been numerous reports recently of card skimmers being placed on ATMs and card reading devices throughout Bucks County. Skimmers are small devices affixed to a card reader, allowing a thief to illegally collect the credit and debit card information of unsuspecting customers. Most commonly, card skimmers are put on ATMs, gas station pumps or self-checkout machines.

The typical ATM skimmer is smaller than a deck of cards and fits over an existing card reader, says PC Mag.

In Bucks County, skimming devices have recently been located on Firstrust Bank ATMs in Doylestown, Northampton and Upper Southampton. Police in Solebury say a skimming device was located on a self-checkout machine at the New Hope Giant supermarket on State Route 202 over the summer.

And last month, a skimmer was found at a 7-Eleven store on Maple Avenue in Upper Southampton.

Experts say you shouldn't use ATMs if you notice obvious signs of tampering or if the machine looks suspicious or different than normal.

"One giveaway that you might be at risk is if a terminal looks especially wide — since any overlay skimmer piece will inevitably take up extra space," says Mic.com in an article shared by Solebury Township Police via Facebook.

Here are some images of what a card skimmer looks like on an ATM.
