Two men received prison sentences Tuesday after pleading guilty in a credit card-skimming operation that was uncovered at a Martinez gas station and victimized customers throughout Northern California.
David Karapetyan, 32, and Zhirayr Zamanyan, 31, both of Los Angeles, pleaded guilty in Contra Costa County Superior Court to all the charges against them.
They were among four men accused of stealing more than $158,000 from 196 people.
Karapetyan and Zamanyan installed a skimming device on a gas pump at the 7-Eleven gas station at 530 Morello Ave. in Martinez, police said. The device, which was discovered by a store employee, was set up to capture account numbers and PIN's of the customers who used the pump.
