If you use a debit card at the gas pump, you may want to think twice the next you fill up. Police say thieves are targeting gas pumps along the front range and stealing personal information.

Nancy Lusk believes her debit card was compromised when her husband filled up her gas tank last Friday at the Valero gas station on Research Parkway in Colorado Springs. She says when she went online to check her bank account statement, she found crooks had drained her account of $2700.

"There were charges from North Carolina and I said this can't be because I haven't been to North Carolina," said Lusk.

Police say an organized group is behind this criminal activity. They haven't been able to track them down yet, but now the secret service is involved in the ongoing investigation.

Police say there are a few things you can do to try and protect your information. They recommend checking your bank statements on a daily basis and reporting any suspicious activity. Also, using a credit card instead of a debit card at the gas pump. That way the crooks don't have direct access to your bank account.
