Concord Police Need Help Identifying Fraud Suspects

CONCORD, N.C. — Concord Police say there has been an increase in identity fraud resulting from people’s credit card information being stolen by card readers or skimmers.

Investigators say the suspects are stealing credit card information by attaching a skimmer device to the card readers at places like ATM machines, retail stores and gas pumps.

The skimmers look very similar to the actual card readers.  The suspects are then obtaining credit card information wirelessly using Bluetooth or coming back at the later time and removing the device to download the information.

The Concord Police Department is working with other agencies including the US Secret Service to determine if any other similar incidents have occurred within other jurisdictions.

Anyone with information on the location of any of the suspects shown the gallery is asked to call 911 immediately.
