ATM skimmer

SALINE COUNTY- Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are investigating another case of a skimmer on a bank ATM.

On Wednesday, a man contacted police after he discovered a skimmer on the Sunflower Bank ATM, 1201 West Crawford in Salina, according to Police Captain Paul Forrester.

The man’s card became stuck in the machine. When he attempted to pull out his card he partially detached the skimmer.

Police removed the device and are currently attempting to determine how long the device was on the machine.

The skimmer was placed over the card acceptance slot.

Skimmers are placed over the card reader of an ATM and records information that lets thieves drain bank accounts.

The suspect who attached the device must return to the ATM to collect the stolen card information stored on an SD card, according to Forrester.

Police in Salina investigated several reports of skimmers on ATMs in July of 2015
