2 men arrested and accused of placing card readers in local Shop ‘n Save – WPXI

This makes buyers like Dolly Kosol feel insecure.

“Really unsafe, really unsafe. You know, we don’t use cash anymore, they don’t want you to pay with checks, they want you to use credit cards, and that’s how they get you,” Kosol said.

“It’s just crazy,” added Wayne Macklen, another buyer. “It’s getting crazy in this world.”

Using surveillance videos, the police were able to quickly identify the two suspects.

Investigators believe similar, possibly related, incidents have occurred in Penn Hills and Lower Burrell.

The two men were tracked down and arrested in Bellevue on Thursday, but they presented police with European driving licenses and officers were unable to verify their identities.

They say one of the men even gave investigators different names at two different times.

“At least they caught her and everyone else can be on guard now,” Kosol said.

Police requested that both men be held without bail in the Allegheny County Jail because they did not have valid identification documents and believed they may be in the United States illegally.
