"Deputies believe the skimming machines are related and may have been affixed to the ATM's by the same suspect," the sheriff's office said in a statement. "ATM skimming machines are sophisticated electronics designed to read the magnetic strips on the back of ATM cards and in this case also video record the key pad as the unknowing victim enters their pin."

The "skimming machines" were found December 17 at the Flying J near Aurora and December 18 at the Pilot truck stp in Brooks, the sheriff's office said. (MCSO)<p></p>
