Texas Skimmers Arrested in Major Fraud Bust | Lubbock News
Description
Three Romanian nationals were arrested in Texas for running a sophisticated card skimming ring that targeted retailers across West and Central Texas, stealing credit and EBT card data from point-of-sale terminals. The operation, uncovered in June after retailers reported mysterious devices, spanned cities like Amarillo, Lubbock, and San Angelo. Law enforcement, including the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center, collaborated with local businesses to track the suspects before making arrests on July 16th in San Antonio. Authorities recovered dozens of skimming devices and estimate they prevented $6 million in potential theft. The suspects now face serious charges for organized financial crime, underscoring the critical role of cross-agency partnerships in stopping transnational fraud.
