2 Credit Card Skimmers Discovered At Sudbury Grocery Store: Report

SUDBURY, MA — Police are investigating after credit card skimmers were discovered at a Sudbury grocery store, WHDH News-7 reported. Skimmers were found at two self-checkout pin pads at the Sudbury Farms store on Sunday.

Roche Bros. which operates the store, said that there's no confirmation any customer data was compromised, but they're recommending anyone who shopped at the Sudbury Farms store on or before Sunday check their bank account, according to WHDH News-7.

A credit card skimmer is a device used to steal sensitive information from credit and debit cards.

The news comes after several credit card skimmers were found elsewhere in Massachusetts and New Hampshire during October and November.

Credit card skimmers were found at Market Baskets in Haverhill, Somerville, and Reading in Massachusetts and Nashua and Concord in New Hampshire, according to Boston.com. Police believe these incidents may be connected.

In Concord, police found credit card skimmers at a Walmart on Oct.19 and a Market Basket on Oct. 27. Concord police said that the devices were installed by the same two people.

Police said that a telltale sign with skimmers used in that case was the card chip reader slot was inoperable and appeared "jammed," causing the customer to swipe the card so that the magnetic reader could steal the card information.
