RICHFIELD, UT - Eight electronic credit card skimming devices were found in the pumps of a Flying J and a Walkers station in Richfield on March 17. Fortunately, two people have been arrested before they could retrieve the skimmers, reports The Associated Press.

"They're hard to find unless you know what to look for," said Detective Trent Lloyd of the Richfield City Police Department, adding that the skimmers were found by a service technician who was serving pumps in the area.
