Skimming Device Discovered At Bucks Co. Costco, Police Say

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, PA — The Warminster Township Police Department seeks two suspects who allegedly placed a skimming device on a cash register at the Bucks County Costco on Saturday.

Warminster Police responded to Costco at 100 Veterans Way for the report of a skimming device found at a register.

According to Costco, the device was illegally installed on a register, police said.

Police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying two potential suspects who they say are involved.

Patch reached out to Costco on Thursday. An administrator referred all comments to the Warminster Township Police Department.

Warminster Police said the incident is still under investigation, but happened in a small time frame and did not involve many customers. Police said all of the skimming victims have been identified.

Skimming occurs when devices illegally installed on or inside ATMs, point-of-sale terminals, or fuel pumps capture card data and record cardholders' PIN entries. Criminals use the data to create fake payment cards and then make unauthorized purchases or steal from victims' accounts.

Anyone who may be involved in skimming should contact their bank or credit card company and file a police report if necessary, officials said.

Anyone who recognizes the suspects should contact Warminster Township Police Officer Jillian Voit at jvoit@warminsterpa.org or call WTPD at the non-emergency phone number at 215-672-1000.
