Greater Sudbury Police have one man in custody and are looking for another after uncovering a fraud involving a card skimmer.

The two men tried to use the fabricated card-like device yesterday at two local businesses in the city.

One suspect was arrested and the other fled the scene on foot.

The suspect police are searching for is from Southern Ontario and may have committed similar offences across the province.

Investigators warn store owners to watch for any customers who might create distractions to conduct the fraud.

The Criminal Investigations Division Fraud Unit is looking into the case.
