Before the end of the year, the Marshalltown Police Department recovered a credit card skimmer at a gas pump at the Casey’s on Lincoln Way. The initial report was given on December 23rd but the device was not found until December 31st. The skimming device was well hidden in the gasoline pump.

Law enforcement personnel, and Casey’s technicians, had searched this particular gasoline pump multiple times prior to the successful recovery of the device. The police department does believe all of the credit card frauds reported so far are related to this one skimming device.

Two out of state suspects have been identified and law enforcement is working to locate these individuals. Evidence suggests, other communities in Iowa have also been targeted by the same suspects. This investigation continues.
