Credit Card Skimmer Found At Ridge Road Gas Station: Police

MINOOKA — Although the Minooka Police Department does not know yet who was responsible, officers want everyone to know that they have confiscated a credit card skimming machine that the criminals had attached to one of the gasoline pumps at the Pilot on Ridge Road, which is near the Interstate 80 interchange.

If you were at the Pilot and used pump 21, keep track of your credit card and bank accounts, Minooka police cautioned. People who believe they were victims of credit card theft are asked to first call their credit card company and bank, then the Minooka police at 815-467-2161 if you need to file a police report on the matter.

One person posted on the Minooka Police Department Facebook page that the Pilot does not have a pump 21 but a pump 1 and pump 2. "Is there where the skimmer was located? So both or just 1 or 2?"

So far, the Minooka police have not responded back to the poster's question.
