The department said if anyone used a credit or debit card at either Whitehall UDF location, they should review their accounts for unauthorized or unfamiliar charges for at least 90 days.
They should also monitor their credit and report any identity theft, according to the department.
Contact the department at 614-246-7422 if you believe your card information has been compromised.
To avoid skimmers, police said consumers can use tap-to-pay when available, inspect card readers for loose or unusual overlays, and enable transaction alerts from their bank.
