Both men are facing multiple felony charges.

Earlier this month, the owner of a gas station on Curry Ford Road in Orlando told News 6 he found out someone installed skimming devices inside the gas pumps.

Back in December, Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Agent Justin Wood said there is no way to tell now if a pump has a skimmer from the outside.

He said skimmers have evolved to become so small, they attach in seconds inside a pump.
