GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Two men who allegedly skimmed credit numbers from convenience store gas pumps were ordered Tuesday to stand trial.
Leonardo Chacin-Paredes and Orlando Romero-Santaella waived preliminary hearings, according to court records.
Chacin-Paredes enters a plea Jan. 3 to ten counts of misappropriating identification information, while Romero-Santaella’s arraignment on ten such counts is set for Jan. 17.
Also Tuesday, Romero-Santaella’s bond was reduced from $50,000 cash – which he had posted – to $25,000 cash. That now matches Chacin-Paredes’ bond of $25,000 cash, which he, too, has posted. Both had previously been ordered to surrender their Venezuelan passports.
According to police, the two allegedly placed credit card skimmers at the pumps, gathering information including the cardholder’s name, credit or debit card number, and the time and date of the transaction.
