    Pacific Grove Police deem DEA drug take-back a success

    Pacific Grove Police Department hosted a collection point for the Drug Enforcement Agency’s sixth National Take Back Initiative.
    Eighty-three pounds of prescription medications were collected at the Pacific Grove Police Department and will be disposed of appropriately and safely by the DEA.
    The goal of this program is to allow citizens to deliver all of their unused, unwanted, or expired medications to law enforcement officials who can in turn dispose of controlled substances in a safe, secure, and non-hazardous manner. This will potentially save lives and protect the ecosystem.
    Pacific Grove Police Department will partner with the DEA in future National Take Back Initiative events and will make the public aware of these opportunities, which occur approximately twice per year. Until the next event, the public is encouraged to contact their local pharmacy to determine the proper and safe way to dispose of their unused pharmaceuticals.

    Repairman, owner find “skimming device” attached to gas pump

    A gas pump repair person located two “skimming devices” on gas pumps at the Union 76 service station on Forest Avenue in Pacific Grove. The discovery was reported to the owner of the station who, in turn, reported the find to the police.

    The devices have been removed. The resemble a small circuit board with male and female plugs coming off each end, according to an alert released Dec. 7, 2012.

    Typically, say police, the devices are attached by criminals to gas pumps which are outside of the view of the cashier, making detection more difficult. The skimming devices capture credit or debit card information from customers and transmit it via Bluetooth technology to a device nearby. It may also store the stolen data onsite and criminals will retrieve the device later, harvesting the data (including PINs, using keystroke software) and using the information later to obtain cash or make purchases in other parts of the state or the country.

    Police advise card users at gas stations to pay inside or pay with cash to avoid having data stolen at the pump. They say that, if you must use the card at the pump, you should examine the pump carefully. Does everything look right? Does the scanner look a bit larger than normal? Does it appear to have been tampered with?

    “Be sure that you always monitor your card purchases carefully,” authorities advise. “View your statement carefully looking for anything that’s out of place.” The Federal Trade Commission advises customers whose cards have been compromised to notify the card issuer as quickly as possible, and to notify law enforcement.

    Pacific Grove police warned the public earlier this year about this type of fraudulent activity. They encourage anyone who has been victimized to contact them right away at 831-648-3143.
