No victims have been confirmed yet, but customers who paid with credit cards in the targeted lanes are advised to monitor their statements and report any unauthorized charges. The suspects, two men and one woman, have been captured on surveillance footage, and the public's help is sought in identifying them. Shoppers are advised to use mobile wallet services or tap-to-pay cards for increased security and to be vigilant for any signs of fraudulent devices.
