Afton Police

Afton Police Department has been informed there is a new device used to scan credit cards and debit cards. The device is called a ‘Shimmer’ and is smaller than a skimmer most commonly seen in Iowa. So far, it has been seen in Europe but recently discovered in Canada by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It is suggested that when you are using your credit card to look at the card reader and see if there are signs of tampering. If there are indications of tampering, notify the store manager.
