visitors are being advised to check their bank accounts after an ATM skimmer was found at the outdoors art and crafts market over the weekend.

At about 10 a.m. Saturday, a visitor alerted market security to a suspicious device on an ATM at Northwest Naito Parkway near Burnside Bridge.

Police said the device was a card scanner used to elicit bank account and PIN information. It is unknown how long the scanner was in place before officers removed it, said Sgt. Pete Simpson, a Portland police spokesman.

Anyone who spots suspicious activity with their account is encouraged to file a police report.

Anyone with information about the ATM skimmer or the person responsible is asked to call

at 503-823-4357. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest or any unsolved felony.
