Card skimmer found at Casey’s General Store

•July 9, 2025•

The Bethany Police Department is warning residents after a credit card skimming device was discovered on a gas pump at the Casey’s General Store located in Bethany. The device was located during a routine inspection on June 30. An investigation is now underway.

Skimming devices are designed to capture card data from customers who use the pump to pay for fuel. We are working to determine how long the device was active and whether any customer information was compromised.

“We want to alert our community to this potential threat and encourage everyone to take precautions when using card readers at fuel pumps. If you used your card at this Casey’s location recently, please monitor your bank accounts closely and report any suspicious activity.”

Tips to Protect Yourself from Skimmers: Inspect the card reader: If it appears loose, misaligned, or different from other pumps, do not use it. Choose well-lit pumps close to the storefront, which are more visible to staff and less likely to be tampered with. Use credit cards or contactless payment instead of debit cards when possible. Monitor bank and credit card statements for unauthorized charges. Report suspicious findings to store staff or local law enforcement immediately.

Anyone who believes they may have been affected or has information about this case is urged to contact the Bethany Police Department.
