STRATFORD, CT — Police are asking for help with identifying two men in connection with a credit card "skimming" incident at a 7-Eleven.

Police said an overlay skimming device was found on the credit card reader at 7-Eleven in Paradise Green. The skimming device was attached to one of the readers from 5:54 p.m. on April 26 to 8 a.m. on April 28, according to police.

"This device will ONLY record card numbers if the card was SWIPED along the magnetic strip," police wrote in a post on Facebook. "This skimming device does NOT record card numbers if the card was inserted in the chip reader or if the touchless feature was used.

"The skimming device was confiscated, it is unknown if any card information was obtained by the suspects."
