Reno Police Warn of Uptick in Skimmers Inside Gas Pumps | News

By Andrew Mckinney

Local drivers are being warned of an increase in "skimmer" devices at gas pumps.    

Skimmers are devices put inside gas pumps that capture your credit card information and sends it to criminals.

Today, Reno Police posted a photo of a bright pink seal on a gas pump at a local 7-Eleven.

Officers encourage folks to report to the gas station employee if these seals are missing or tampered with as it could be a sign that a skimmer has been put on the pump.
