Just in time for Christmas.....another way for someone to try and steal your hard earned money. Pin Pad Theft has hit two stores in Saint John. The fraud unit says how it works is the thief or thieves usually show up at closing time to remove a pin pad and replace it with another. This pad doesn't work and acts as a prop until they get the original back. They then install hardware in the real pad, return it and then come back and steal it again at the end of the day to collect the pin numbers.
City Police ask all stores to treat their pin pads the same as cash and know your pin pad serial number.
