A card skimmer device used to steal banking details has been found on an ATM in Barcaldine.
Barcaldine Regional Council released a notice on Wednesday saying a suspicious device was found on the Westpac machine on Beech Street on October 12 and technicians confirmed it was a skimmer the following day.
The ATM was immediately closed and barred from further use. Technicians aim to have the issue rectified before the weekend.
