Two people have been arrested in Andrew County while allegedly in possession of a credit card skimming device.

Yasmany Rosas, and Yainier Pena Valera both listed as Florida residents are both charged in Andrew County with a class D felony of Forgery. Velera is also charged with a felony as a fugitive from out of state.

According to court documents, Tuesday shortly before 2:30 p.m. Sgt. M. Wilhoit with the Missouri State Highway Patrol said he stopped a Ford Expedition for speeding on I-29 near the 58 mile marker.

“I made contact with the front seat passenger and identified him as Yainier Pena Velera. The driver claimed to not understand English,” Wilhoit said. “I brought the passenger back and a routine computer check revealed a Felony Warrant for his arrest for Larceny out of Wisconsin.”

Wilhoit said after searching the vehicle a credit card skimming device was found on the front passenger floorboard. Both defendants allegedly possessed magnetic strip cards with fraudulent information in their wallets with someone else’s name.

As we’ve previously reported, a skimming device is a device that is installed inside a gasoline pump and it goes between the card reader and the computer and it captures the data from the card when it’s inserted in the machine

Rosas and Velera are currently being held in the Andrew County Jail on $20,000 cash bail.  A court date was not listed on online documents as of Thursday morning.
