Do you have a business in town that uses a credit card reader to take payments? Regional trends suggest there are burglars breaking into businesses and stealing the credit card reader. They then connect it to the internet and conduct refund transactions onto a credit card.

If your business utilizes a credit card reader, password protect your device, lock it up at night, and always use your alarm to secure your business during off hours. If you do become a victim, contact the police and your payment processor right away.

Report suspicious activity by calling #RocklinPD non-emergency at (916) 625-5400.
