NEW LONDON, Conn. — Concerns of card skimming continue, as New London police found a card skimmer at one of the registers of a supermarket in the city.
Police recently went around New London inspecting pin pads at retail stores and announced Thursday that a card skimmer was found at the NSA Supermarket at 332 South Frontage Road in New London.
The inspector was able to remove a facsimile plate cover from the pin pad, which revealed the card-reading hardware on the back. Skimmers are used to illegally get credit and debit card information and suspects use the information to then make their own transactions.
Police ask shoppers who have recently been to NSA Supermarket to check their card accounts for any suspicious account activity.
Shoppers are warned that skimmers can be found anywhere that takes a card, not just this grocery store.
Anyone with information on the skimmer found at NSA Supermarket or on anyone placing card skimmers in stores is asked to call the New London police at 860-447-5269, ext. 0, or send an anonymous text tip by texting NLPDTip plus the information to Tip411 (847411).
