On January 20 Langley RCMP received information from financial institution corporate security personnel detailing a debit card skimming which had occurred in north Langley.
Corporate security advised he had attended the business in North Langley and examined the PIN pad which he found had been tampered with and contained suspect circuitry.
Langley RCMP attended the business and seized the PIN pad as well as surveillance video. The PIN pad will be examined by Forensic Identification Section. Currently, Langley RCMP is reviewing surveillance footage.
