A card skimming device has been discovered fitted to the slot on a pump at a filling station in Cookstown.
Police say it was ‘well disguised.’
And they’re warning people to be on the lookout for anyone acting suspiciously around filling stations.
“This was a very well disguised device and full credit goes to the individual who spotted it. Enquires are continuing as to its origins and when it was put there,” said a PSNI spokesperson.
And police want anyone who notices anything attached to an ATM machine or fuel pump which looks out of place to get in touch with them.
“Skimming devices can be attached to machines by criminals to enable them to copy information from your bank card so they can remove money from your account,” added the police.
They are warning people not to touch it, stop the transaction immediately and alert police as well as the bank.
