Police seeking public’s help in identifying “Skimmer” suspects
On January 21st and at 10:30 am, Baytown Police were called to
investigate suspicious activity at the Texas Citizens Bank located
at 507 W Baker Road. Officers arrived and discovered a credit
card skimmer had been placed on the ATM machine located at
the drive through window of the bank. The skimmer was
removed and the bank representatives were notified of the
device.
Detectives reviewed the bank surveillance video and determined
the skimming device was placed on the ATM at 6:23 am on the
21st

front passenger could also be seen in the video, who appears to

Detectives are currently investigating this crime and are seeking
