Have you heard of ATM cash trapping?


Dear Resident,

ATM cash trapping is a method used by thieves to take cash from machines.

 

The thieves insert a device inside the ATM, which traps cash that should be dispensed to the customer.

 

Once the customer walks away, the thief then approaches the machine after some time, opens the cover over the correct dispenser and pockets the money.

 

Want to make sure this doesn't happen to you? 

 

  • Look for out any signs that it might have been tampered or damaged
  • Always cover your pin
  • Stay vigilant and check for any suspicious devices 
  •  

    Have you been a victim of this? Report it on our website here.

     

    Most importantly if you see something that doesn't look right, then it probably isn't. 

    If you believe a crime is taking place, call 999.

    Kind Regards, 

    Annabelle Mullee
