Melvindale police have issued a warning after a skimmer was found on an ATM at a 7-11.

It was discovered Friday at around 2:00 p.m. It is not known how long the device was on the machine.

The Melvindale Police Department posted a warning about the skimmer on Facebook. 

Police say they are analyzing to the device to determine what it is capable of. However, they say it appears to be of the type that records card and PIN numbers.
