A McDonald's employee in Oak Park stole the credit card details belonging to 100 of the establishment's customers by using a hand-held skimming device, which she used just outside the view of the victims.

Detroit Free Press reports that Teresa Pulliam was discovered stealing the information after a store manager viewed surveillance footage and discovered the criminal acts. He immediately called a US Secret Services agent which apprehended the suspect.

She confessed that on each shift she stole between 15 and 20 accounts, also stating that she earned about $15(10 EUR) for each credit card she passed through the skimmer.

The identity of the individual that provided the skimmer is unknown for now, but it's clear that he could have gained a lot from the stolen information.
