Employee accused of skimming credit cards
Oklahoma City police arrested a restaurant employee on her first day on the job Thursday.
Police arrested Rachel Elizabeth Tyler, 34, about 10 p.m. at Twin Peaks, 6500 SW 3, on a complaint of unlawful use of a computer after her manager reported her stealing at work.
The sports bar’s manager told police she saw Tyler consistently swiping customers’ credit cards by one of her pockets. After reviewing surveillance footage, she determined Tyler was using a skimmer to collect credit card information, according to the police report.
In the portion of footage the manager watched, she said she saw Tyler scan four to five cards, according to the report. Police are unsure how many people’s credit card information Tyler stole.
The manager told police Tyler worked at the restaurant within the past year, but she had quit coming to work. The restaurant rehired her last week, the manager said. The manager did not know whether Tyler used a skimmer when she first worked there, according to the report.
Tyler was booked into Oklahoma County jail early Friday morning and remained there in lieu of $2,000 bail as of Monday.
Police spokeswoman Megan Morgan said customers who frequented Twin Peaks should watch their credit card statements for unusual activity and file a police report if such is found.
