Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - suspicious activity and distraction thefts at local cash machines.


Suspicious activity and distraction thefts at local cash machines.

Officers wish to remind the community, to be vigilant around cash machines. 

There have been reports of bank cards being taken by offenders when victims are withdrawing cash from bank machines using distraction techniques. 

If someone you don’t know begins talking to you at a cash machine and you believe this to be suspicious, make sure that you don’t engage with them, that you have all your belongings and obscure your PIN number from other peoples view.
