Drivers are being urged to be careful when using a credit or debit card at muni-meters following reports of people claiming their cards were compromised after using the machines.
Police in Brooklyn are investigating at least three incidents in Gravesend and Coney Island, CBS 2 reported.
Police said they haven’t found any skimming devices or cameras in the meters, but thieves may be using other techniques to steal information.
Experts said skimming devices and cameras are often held in place with tape, so people are advised to look things over, jiggle the card slot and cover the keypad when punching in their PIN.
