Roseville police are warning people eating out in Roseville to avoid using 
their debit cards and to pay with cash or use credit cards.

The warning is in response to a recent rash of credit card thefts 
connected to a multitude of Roseville eateries.

Police said hackers have stolen well over 200 people.s information after 
they ate out.

They won.t say which restaurants have been affected due to the ongoing 
investigation. However, police have said the restaurants themselves are 
not responsible.

"We believe the breach is not actually at the restaurant but a third party 
vendor that's in the process between using your credit card at the 
restaurant and actually billing the bank," said Capt. Stefan Moore.
