Skimmers kept San Antonio police busy yet again last month.

In May, police found 20 of the devices designed to steal credit card information at San Antonio gas stations and one bank, according to records obtained by mySA.com.

While six of the gas stations only had one credit card skimmer each, police found four in two separate locations.

The best ways to avoid being a victim of credit card skimming are paying in cash, ensuring the seal around the credit card device isn't broken at the pump and tugging on the card reader to make sure it was not tampered with, police say.

The monthly tally is an increase from April, when police found 10 skimmers. In February and March, police found 58 skimmers in the two-month span.
