Three arrested for credit card fraud
January 20, 2011
Total Loss:
$58,000
San Luis Obispo Police arrested three people who allegedly stole $58,000 from at least 100 people by strategically placing small cameras and card readers at several county banks. For several months, police have been investigating local credit card skimming operations. On January 13, a Chase Bank investigator told police he had captured video images of skimmers at the Chase Bank on Madonna Road. A few days later, another Chase Bank machine was compromised on El Camino Real in Atascadero. Police tracked the suspects to a local motel where they found skimmer devices, cloned credit cards and $20,000 in cash.
