Colorado Springs Police Advise Public About Credit Card Skimmers at Diesel Pumps

Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 15, 2026 —

The Colorado Springs Police Department is advising the public on how to respond if they find a credit card skimmer. The department’s advisory comes as overall discoveries of skimmers at gas stations have declined, while diesel pumps are currently being targeted, according to the information provided by CSPD.

The available information does not specify how many skimmers have been found, how much discoveries have declined, or over what period the change occurred. It also does not identify particular gas stations or diesel pumps, or say whether any specific location has confirmed a device. No dates for the advisory were provided.

CSPD is described as offering guidance on what members of the public should do if they encounter a skimmer. However, the specific response steps in that guidance were not included in the information provided. The department’s advice therefore cannot be detailed here without adding information that has not been confirmed.

The summary also does not provide details about how the devices were discovered, whether any payment-card information was compromised, or whether police have identified suspects. It gives no figures for investigations, arrests or financial losses. Those details should not be assumed from the reported decline in overall discoveries or the current focus on diesel pumps.

The information establishes two points: CSPD is advising the public about responding to possible skimmers, and diesel pumps are currently being targeted despite a decline in overall discoveries at gas stations. The scope, timing and specific circumstances behind that trend were not provided.
