\nA cashier at a Bullitt County Taco Bell was arrested last week after police said she stole credit card information from customers at the fast food restaurant.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, 22-year-old Summer Burton was arrested by officers with the Mt. Washington Police Department on Thursday, August 17.<\/p>\n
Police said Burton was a cashier at the Taco Bell located at 149 Oakbrooke Drive. <\/p>\n
The investigation began on August 5, when police said a woman reported that her debit card had been compromised, with a total of more than $35 in fraudulent transactions. Those included transactions made to the site Meta Pay and Shein.<\/p>\n
Two days later, police said another victim, a man, came forward to report a fraudulent transaction of more than $106 on his card to the site FashionNova.com.<\/p>\n
Police determined that both victims had recently been to the Mt. Washington Taco Bell location and had the same cashier, identified as “SummerB” on their receipts.<\/p>\n
According to court documents, police reviewed surveillance video from the Taco Bell. That video allegedly showed Burton activate the camera on her smart phone and place her phone in such a way that it could record her swiping customers’ credit or debit cards when they paid for their meals. Police said in each case, she would hold the card in such a way so that her phone could record private information, including customers’ card numbers, names and security codes.<\/p>\n
Police observed 20 separate incidents in which she illegally obtained this information, including the two incidents involving the customers who had already reported fraudulent transactions.<\/p>\n
A warrant was issued for Burton’s arrest and she was taken into custody last week. She is charged with 20 counts of use of a scanning device or re-encoder to illegally access transaction info from a credit card, 20 counts of identity theft, one count of trafficking in stolen identities, two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card and two counts of theft by unlawful taking. <\/p>\n
She is currently being held in the Bullitt County Detention Center.<\/p>\n
Police advise these tips on how to keep your information safe:<\/p>\n
Keep an eye on your card as long as possible after you hand it over.<\/p>\n
If you suspect fraud, cancel the card immediately.<\/p>\n
Check your statements often for any unauthorized charges.
