WALLER, Texas (KTRK) -- The Texas Department of Agriculture is warning people in the Waller area to stay alert after two credit card skimmers were found at a gas station.
The Waller Police Department was called to the Shell gas station located at 20727 FM 362 Road in Waller after TDA received a consumer complaint.
A TDA inspector discovered a credit card skimmer attached to two different pumps, one of which was inserted in the internal electronics of the pump.
Police took four more additional skimmer devices after the gas station owner told police he found other devices over a month ago.
