Published August 4, 2017 | By admin

Holden Hill Police are investigating the discovery of a card skimming device attached to an ATM at Prospect.

Just before 2.30pm on Wednesday 26 July, police were called to a bank at the North Park Shopping Centre on Main North Road after staff reported a card skimming device attached to their ATM.

Crime Scene investigators attended the scene and removed the device and investigations are continuing.

Anyone with information about this matter is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au

Police wish to remind everyone to be vigilant when using ATM’s and provide the following tips to avoid becoming a victim:

  • ATM’s located inside banks tend to be harder for suspects to target due to the abundance of staff on hand
  • check your bank statements
  • cover the key pad when entering your PIN
  • if you notice a loose fitting card slot or plastic bar, inform the bank immediately
  • report any unauthorised transactions to your bank and the police as soon as possible
  • to be vigilant when using ATM’s
