VICTORVILLE – A skimming device was located at an ATM [machine] at a Victorville bank on Sunday morning. On Sunday at around 11:13 a.m. Victorville station deputies responded to the bank located in the 12500 block of Hesperia Road for a reported skimming device on the machine.

Sheriff’s officials said that the bank manager and security officials were made aware of the device.
