A second card skimmer was found in less than a month on Monday at a pump at a 14th Street West gas station.

A technician performing routine maintenance on a pump at the 7-Eleven in the 5600 block of 14th Street West found the skimming device at approximately 1:45 p.m. Monday, according to the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office.

A similar device was found and seized less than a month ago when maintenance was performed, according to the sheriff’s office.

It is unknown if any information was gathered or stolen, according to the sheriff’s office.
