Police in Nantwich have issued a warning after this skimming device used by crooks was found attached to a cashpoint in the town.
The device is designed to copy bank account details which thieves can then use to clone a user’s card.
Raiders tried to drag a cashpoint machine out of a Nantwich store after ramming the front with a land rover.
The crooks attached a heavy-duty 20ft chain to the machine in the Stapeley Co-operative store on Cronkinson estate.
Cheshire Police have launched a new operation to target cashpoint criminals. It follows a series of incidents at cash machines across Crewe and Nantwich, as well as Northwich, Chester, Winsford and Sandbach.
Nantwich shoppers are being warned about a gang who target people at cash machines and then steal their purses or wallets. The warning comes after a number of incidents in and around the town, the latest at Sainsbury’s supermarket on Middlewich Road.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
