LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Four people who used credit and debit card data stolen from some Lancaster County gas pumps have been sentenced in Lincoln.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports (https://bit.ly/2nMhTH1 ) that the four were accused of making dozens of purchases, using the information obtained from the skimmer devices placed on the pumps.

Court records say 30-year-old Carlos Alvarez, of Miami, pleaded guilty and was sentenced earlier this month to six years in prison. Thirty-seven-year-old Elvis Tavieso, of Hialeah, Florida, pleaded no contest and was given two years in prison.

The records also say 34-year-old Lisandro Almaguer, who lives in DeWitt in southeast Nebraska, was given 18 months in prison after pleading no contest and that 25-year-old Yunior Roldan, a transient, was sentenced to 500 days after pleading no contest.
