Skimmers found at Cortland County supermarkets leads to public alert

The Cortland County Sheriff's Office is warning the public about skimmers, devices installed on card readers that collect card numbers.

On Tuesday, the Sheriff's Office investigated two instances of skimming devices -- one found on a terminal at Gregg's Supermarket in the Town of Marathon and one found on a terminal at Save-A-Lot in the Town of Cortlandville.

A skimmer was also previously found at the same Save-A-Lot store in July 2023.
