Two Miami men are accused of installing skimming devices at three Sarasota gas stations, deputies said.
Sarasota County Sheriff's Office deputies first discovered the skimming devices early Wednesday after a citizen called 911 to report seeing a suspicious Chevrolet Camaro parked at a closed Sunoco gas station.
Deputies arrived as the car was leaving and followed it before conducting a traffic stop.
Deputies found two skimming devices, cordless drills and a set of keys used to open the gas pumps during a search of the car.
The driver, Michel Varona-Saavedra, and passenger, Yoandy Perez-Del Prado, were arrested at the scene.
Investigators later found skimming devices at a Citgo and 7-Eleven in addition to the one at the Sunoco. They said they also found Varona-Saavedra in possession of five counterfeit credit cards.
Varona-Saavedra and Perez-Del Prado were arrested on multiple charges.
