Police said the detectives watched as the fuel pumps stopped and started again as the suspects inserted different cards into the pump.
The suspects, identified as Rolando Ladron Guevara, 36, and Alfredo Gonzalez-Garcia, 32, kept looking back at the detectives before Guevara tried to quickly enter the driver's seat to leave, the arrest report stated.
Police said the detectives approached the pickup truck and Gonzalez-Garcia threw a black wallet across the parking lot while Guevara tried to shove credit cards between a fire extinguisher that was affixed to a concrete pillar.
Detectives said they recovered 32 cloned credit cards and identified at least 16 banks that were victimized.
