DENVER (KDVR) — If you've been to the Flying J Pilot Travel Center in Aurora recently, you may want to check your bank statement.
The Aurora Police Department said customers' cards may be 'compromised' after credit card skimmers were found at the Flying J Pilot Travel Center at 16751 E 32nd Ave. This gas station is just off Interstate 70 and down the road from the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife Refuge.
Can you spot a credit card skimmer? What to look for
The department said an unknown suspect placed credit card skimmers at four gas pumps between May 25 and 31, and people who used No. 22 and 24 diesel gas pumps on the semi-truck side during that time may have 'compromised' credit or debit cards.
Credit card skimmers are devices that look like card readers and are usually placed at ATMs, gas pumps, or credit card readers at retail outlets, according to the FBI. Once the victim swipes their card, the device either stores or sends the information to the criminals.
If you used these gas pumps in late May, the department recommends that customers notify their dispatch centers and banks and cancel their cards.

The department said the skimmers were removed, but were stolen from the business before being turned over to authorities.
This is still an active investigation, and the department is asking anyone with information to contact the Denver Metro Crime Stoppers at 720.913.STOP (7867). If you used the affected pumps during that time and have questions, the department said to contact Detective Steve Cox, Aurora Police District 2 Criminal Investigations, at 303.739.6060.
