Authorities are now looking for two suspects after skimming devices were found on two ATMs inside a Wawa store in Galloway Township.

The devices were found on machines inside the busy convenience store located on the White Horse Pike at Pomona Road.

What is an ATM "Skimming Device?"

According to police, a "skimmer" is a card reader that is designed to look like part of an ATM.

The skimmer attachment collects card numbers and PIN codes, which are then replicated into counterfeit cards. When you slide your card into an ATM that has a skimmer attached, you’re unwittingly sliding it through the counterfeit reader, which scans and stores all your information from the magnetic strip as well as capturing your PIN from the keypad.

The devices were discovered by a mechanic who was performing routine maintenance on the machines.
