CCTV secretly records Pin numbers
Pin numbers entered for cash card transactions at a petrol station were secretly being recorded on CCTV for at least three months, police have said.
They are urging people who used cards at the BP petrol station in Bridge Road, Park Gate, Fareham, in that time to cancel their cards.
Det Sgt Sarah Speakman has also advised customers to should check their accounts for any unusual transactions.
Three men have been arrested and released on police bail.
Two, aged 20 and 18, are from Southsea and the third, a 32-year-old man, is from Havant.
The CCTV equipment was found during a periodic security check by the station. Detectives in Fareham are warning residents to be vigilant.
Det Sgt Speakman said: "The information we have suggests that the details gathered from the cards have not yet been used.
"However, there is still a chance that money may have been withdrawn from these accounts and we would urge people to check with their banks."
She said that as part of the "Guard Your Card" campaign being run by petrol stations, posters and information cards would be displayed at garages giving customers information on how to avoid becoming a victim of this type of fraud.
