OVERLAND, Mo. – Police in Overland and Maryland Heights are looking for men they said are planting skimmers around.

Police said the man was seen on security video planting the skimmer and possibly a camera so he could clone cards and use them around the area.

Police said he was wearing a Metallica hat, blue jacket and jeans with a multi-colored book bag.

On Thursday, the Maryland Heights Police Department said other men were also seen planting devices elsewhere.

Maryland Heights police said the cloned cards were used to withdraw about $53,000 in five days.
