Merseyside Police have issued a warning to people withdrawing cash from ATM's in Merseyside.
The force issued a warning after they were called to a cash machine on Teehey Lane in Bebington, Wirral, on Friday, April 8, when people passing by noticed something suspicious. Officers removed a device from the cash point, which was being used to trick users into thinking the machine is broken, meaning the customer would walk away without their money.
Wirral Police posted a warning on its Facebook page on Friday, April 8 asking people to be "extra vigilant when using ATM's".
