Police: Check bank accounts after card skimmers found at Wawa store

HILLTOWN TWP., Pa. (WPVI) -- Officials from the Hilltown Township Police Department are trying to get the word out after finding two skimming devices on two different ATMs inside the Wawa on the 3500 block of Bethlehem Pike in Souderton.

Investigators are actively sifting through hours of surveillance video with the hope of catching a glimpse of the person, or people, responsible.

"We had to narrow the time down. We're doing that through analyzing the devices, seeing when they were installed and then trying to extract the video from that time," said Hilltown Township Police Det. Louis Bell.

While authorities are not sure when the devices were installed, the first was located and removed on Monday, May 5. The second was located and removed on Sunday, May 11.

So, if you used either of the ATMs inside that Wawa over the past two weeks, you are being advised to keep an eye on your bank account for any suspicious activity.

Detective Bell adds that it's sad to say, but this kind of criminal activity is only becoming more and more common.

"There is always criminals out there that want to victimize people, to take advantage of the hard-working person who just wants to get $50 out so they can buy some dinner for their family," he says.

We spoke with customers outside the Wawa, some of whom say they were already apprehensive about using their ATM cards because of similar, previous reports involving other businesses and gas stations across the country.

For example, Gwen Simpson of Hilltown says, "I've been using cash and I've learned how to tap, but I never swipe...I never go to an ATM except my bank."

Investigators say the skimming devices used in this case were very easy to install in just a matter of seconds.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Hilltown Township police.
