MARTINEZ, Calif.—State prosecutors have filed charges against three Los Angeles men for allegedly stealing more than $150,000 by skimming personal information from Northern California gas station pumps.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown says 42 counts of identity theft and one count of conspiracy were filed against David Karapetyan, Zhirayr Zamanyan and Edwin Hamazaspyan on Wednesday.
The complaint against the three allege they stole $158,000 from nearly 200 people by placing an electronic device that recorded ATM and credit card data at gas stations in Martinez, Benicia, Livermore, Hayward, Oakland, San Mateo and Sacramento.
The three men were arrested after a device was found at a gas station in Martinez.
State prosecutors say if convicted, the three are each facing up to 31 years in prison.
It was not known if they had retained attorneys.
