ONE SUSPECT PLEADS GUILTY IN CREDIT CARD SKIMMING CASE

One of the two suspects in a multi-county credit card skimming case pleaded guilty in Westmoreland County Court.  The Trib reports that 34-year-old Thomas Fuchs, whose last known address was Pittsburgh, placed skimming devices at checkout counters at the Community Market store in Lower Burrell and another at the Shop n’ Save in North Huntingdon.  Police said they tracked down Fuchs and an accomplice through surveillance cameras that recorded their images and license plate readers throughout the region, which tracked movements of their rented vehicle.  Fuchs will serve one to two years in prison.  His accomplice, 39-year-old Alexandru Dumitrascu, remains in jail on $100,000 bond in connection with identity theft and other charges filed in the North Huntingdon case.
