An access device fraud incident was reported at 1:20 p.m. Tuesday to state police at the Fogelsville barracks.

Police said the victim is a 61-year-old New Tripoli man.

The incident started at the Exxon gas station located along Golden Key Road (Route 863) in Weisenberg Township, where it was discovered that a skimmer had been placed on two of the fuel pumps at the station.
