Two Jasper Men Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Information Using Credit Card Skimmers

FROM LOCAL SOURCES

JASPER -- Two Jasper men have been arrested for allegedly stealing credit card information.

It happened last week following a traffic stop for expired license plates.

Investigators executed a search warrant and uncovered nine credit cards using stolen identifiers.  The suspects reportedly got the information by using credit card skimmers on local gas pumps.

Police have notified victims of these crimes.

Jose Alvarez Corvea and Jose Rodriquez Martinez have each been charged with 12 counts of theft, 12 counts of fraud, and 12 counts of fraud on a financial institution.

The Jasper Police Department recommends citizens regularly review their bank statements for any fraudulent activity.
