Skimming devices found at several Wawa locations in Delaware

Delaware State Police are investigating after they say skimming devices were discovered at several Wawa locations in Sussex County.

SUSSEX Co. – The Delaware State Police have started an investigation after they say skimming devices were found on the self-checkout kiosks at several Wawa locations in Sussex County.

Police say anyone who has completed transactions at the following Wawa locations listed below between August 31, 2024, and September 14, 2024, should review their banking or credit card accounts for fraudulent transactions:

24930 John J Williams Highway, Millsboro, Delaware
30155 Veterans Way, Wawa, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
35436 Wolfe Neck Rd, Wawa, Rehoboth, Delaware
17663 Dartmouth Dr, Lewes, Delaware

Tips to avoid skimming devices

In addition to urging folks to check their accounts for fraudulent activity, police have also shared a list of tips to help avoid becoming victim to skimming devices.

Check for a camera. Cameras could be used to record the PINs being entered. Avoid using the debit payment option where PINs are required.
Tap-to-pay is currently the most secure method of payment, followed by the EMV chip payment method.
Check for signs of tampering. Pull on the card slot and wiggle the keypad since the skimming devices are usually placed directly over the actual slot.

What happens if I find a potential skimming device?

Notify the business management.
Monitor banking or credit accounts for fraudulent transactions.
Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.

The Delaware State Police Financial Crimes Unit will continue to investigate this incident.

Anyone who witnessed or has information regarding this case should contact Sergeant A. Morris by calling (302) 752-3806.

You can also send information by sending a private Facebook message to the Delaware State Police or contacting Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.

Chester Water Authority lifts boil water advisory in Upper Chichester area

Chester Water Authority on Monday lifted the boil water advisory for Bethel, Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Marcus Hook and Twin Hooks.

“We want to extend our sincere gratitude to our ratepayers and employees for their patience, resilience, and support during the recent emergency,” said Darryl Jenkins, executive manager of Chester Water Authority, in a release.

On Thursday, a water main break at a PennDOT construction zone along Route 322 near Cherry Tree Road in Upper Chichester Township caused massive disruptions to the system. Affected customers experienced low to no water pressure.

CWA issued a boil water advisory for parts of southern Delaware County. Customers outside the range did not need to take action, but even in nearby areas, some residents experienced low water pressure. The authority set up water-filling stations at the Upper Chichester Township Building, Marcus Hook Borough Office and Ogden Fire Company.

Delaware River Bridge receives 0 million for replacement

From Philly and the Pa. suburbs to South Jersey and Delaware, what would you like WHYY News to cover? Let us know!

The Delaware River Bridge will be replaced following a $600 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, revitalizing a main connector between Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and Burlington County, New Jersey.

According to a joint release from U.S. Pennsylvania Senators John Fetterman, D, and Dave McCormick, R, the funds will “advance” the PA Turnpike/I-95 Interchange Program. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission said the program is designed to reduce congestion on County roadways and improve traffic flow in the Philadelphia region.

Fetterman and McCormick called the $600 million going towards the project “one of the most consequential infrastructure commitments in Pennsylvania’s history.”

“The Delaware River Bridge is not just a Pennsylvania asset; it is a backbone of our national freight and passenger transportation network,” the statement read. “This funding will make it safer and more resilient for the commuters, families, and businesses that depend on it every single day.”
