MURRIETA, Calif. (KABC) -- The Murrieta Police Department is warning residents of an increase in illegal card skimming across the city.
According to a post on the department's Facebook page, the skimming devices can be found anywhere from counter payment terminals to ATMS and fuel pumps.
Police shared several photos of devices investigators have recovered. They also shared a video of someone installing a skimmer in seconds.
