SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Sioux City police say the credit and debit card information from a “significant” number of customers at two local banks has been stolen by devices known as skimmers. Police said Tuesday that they are cooperating with the FBI to locate anyone connected with the skimmers, which were installed on the exterior of an ATM at an Iowa-Nebraska State Bank branch and an ATM at a Pinnacle Bank branch.

Detective Jeff Harstad says the skimmers were found May 14 and May 21. Sgt. Chris Groves said some of the stolen card numbers were used to make fraudulent charges, but most of the charges were made outside of Siouxland. Authorities have not disclosed the exact number of customers who have been affected.
