A fake pin pad used as a card-skimming device meant to steal credit card information was discovered in the self-checkout line of an Atlanta-area Kroger grocery store, police say.
The fraud was uncovered on June 6. That's when the Atlanta Police Department was called to the store located on Greenwood Avenue SE.
There, they spoke with a store employee, who “discovered that a fraudulent pin pad had been placed on one of the self-checkout machines,” according to a police statement.

After speaking with security personnel on June 6 and reviewing security camera footage from the store, police identified two men "placing the fraudulent device into the self-checkout machine on June 2, 2024."
The Atlanta Police Department released photos of the two suspects on June 17, along with a $2,000 reward for information leading to their arrest.
Anyone with information about the two men or the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers of Atlanta.
