On Thursday, November 19th, 2025, at 3:44p.m., the Albion Police Department received a report of a fraudulent credit card skimming device located at Save-A-Lot 320 West Avenue Albion NY 14411.
Through an investigation of the incident and reviewing of video footage, the investigation determined the skimming device was placed on cash register 4 (closest to entrance/exit) on November 14th, 2025 at 2:23pm. A customer at the store had noticed the key pad on the credit card machine had “new” buttons. The investigation determined a white male, camouflage hat, black headband, brown jacket, gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and brown shoes entered the store and placed the skimming device unnoticed. These skimming devices are professionally handmade and can be very hard to notice.
The Albion Police Department would like to recommend all local businesses check their Point-of-Sale machines for credit card skimmers. One way to determine is to check for “new” looking buttons or lack of security of the machine pieces.
If you have shopped at Save-A-Lot between the dates of 11/14/2025 and 11/19/2025 we recommend you check your bank account for any suspicious activity. The Albion Police Department is investigating this incident thoroughly.
