If you used a card at this Coast gas station, you might want to check your account

Anyone who has used a credit-card machine lately at Kangaroo Express on Beach Boulevard might want to check their account because Long Beach police are investigating installation of a skimming device at the convenience store and gas station.

Police Chief Billy Seal said the investigation began after three males were seen entering the store around dawn Wednesday and removed a device from the machine located next to the cash register. Police do not know how long the device was on the machine at the station west of Cleveland Avenue.

A news release says police are looking for three individuals: a heavyset male wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt, black athletic pants, dark shoes and glasses, and two suspects who wore long-sleeved, buttoned-down shirts, dark hats and athletic slides. All three suspects are white.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Police Department at 228-865-1981 or Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers at 877-787-5898. Anonymous tips also can be submitted online to Crime Stoppers.
