On September 16, 2022, officers from the Joshua Police Department  responded to the Circle K, located at 100 S. Broadway, to investigate credit card “skimmers” found on four (4) fuel pumps. The credit card skimmers were located by a technician servicing the pumps. The technician indicated that the last documented service on the pumps was July 1, 2022. The skimmers were equipped with Blue Tooth technology, allowing data to be removed remotely. Customers who purchased fuel with a credit card or debit card at the Circle K between July 1, 2022 and September 16, 2022, are advised to report any fraudulent activity to their respective financial institutions. This matter remains under investigation by the Joshua Police Department.
