TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - A Smith County jury has found a Houston man guilty in
connection with gas-skimming operations in Tyler and sentenced him to 65
years in prison.

The jury found Yoelvis Herrera, 33, guilty on a charge of unlawful
interception in Judge Austin Jackson’s court Wednesday afternoon following
about an hour of deliberations.

Herrera was arrested in Dec. 2019 after being caught on camera trying to
retrieve a skimming device from a gas station pump in the 1700 block of NNW
Loop 323 in Tyler.

“Today’s verdict sends a message to gas pump skimmers across the State that
it will not be tolerated in Smith County. We are thankful to the Tyler
Police Department and the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center for
their diligent work on these cases,” said Smith County District Attorney
Jacob Putman.
