Southborough Police asked me to notify readers who may have been victims of a credit card skimming device discovered at the Mobile Station on Route 9 at Oak Hill Road.
The device was discovered yesterday afternoon at “pump 2”. They do not know how long it had been in place. Customers of the station may want to contact their credit card companies.
Chief Kenneth Paulhus writes that there have been similar incidents in the Metrowest area recently. So, even if you haven’t used that station recently, keep an eye on your bills and your credit status.
Here is the full statement:
