POLICE IN THE United Kingdom have released video footage showing a pensioner being distracted at an ATM and his bank card stolen.
As much as £23,000 was taken from the man’s bank account within hours of the card being taken.
The incident happened when the 93-year-old man was withdrawing cash from an ATM in Grantham in Lincolnshire earlier this week.
In the video, a man can be seen distracting the pensioner, while another swaps his card in the machine. He did not realise the swap had taken place until he attempted to use his card a few days later.
Detective Inspector Simon Bromiley, who is leading the investigation, said:
What is quite clear from our enquiries so far is that these three men were very-well organised in their deception and very selective about their victim.
They watched the gentleman as he came into the bank and then carried out this despicable and callous theft.

How can any bank allow 23k to be withdrawn through bank machines within a few hours?
Anything over this gentleman’s agreed daily limit should be covered by the bank. Granted there might be an argument not to cover up to that but there’s no way he should be out above and beyond it… On a side note.. Don’t think this sort of thing won’t happen the elderly here as banks try to close counter service.. Bank of Ireland, I’m looking at you….
Was talking to an elderly lady that had something very similar happen to her in Dun Laoghaire. Luckily she only had €1000 or so in her account that was all taken. The covered the loss.
This story doesn’t make sense.
Here in UK you can only draw £300 daily.
There some shower of c@nts. Good footage,someone will give them up.
If this was ireland. Wallace, daly and Maureen o sullivan would probably offer cash bail for these degenerates

how in the name of jaysus can anyone take 23,000 from an account within hrs and no red flag being raised …went shopping last week and after a few hefty sales ..my credit card company we’re in contact to verify my identity.
That’s because you are spending the credit card company’s money, not your own.
lol
Vermin. Do these people not have parents and grandparents themselves.
They’d probably do the same to their parents and grandparents
Shocking how simple it was for them!
Here’s hoping the bank take the hit and lodge 23K back into his A/c
Su(mbags.. They probably travel from town to town if not country to country thieving.
93? God I hope I’m as sprightly as he looks for 93. fair play to him
How did the bank allow €23,000 to be taken out in a few days? I hope the bank is liable for part if not all of it. That poor man’s trust in strangers will be shattered. Horrible, horrible people.
Not even a few days but over a few hours….
What a horrible thing to do, especially to an elderly man. Those 3 men were obviously working together.
Jesus you think?
Well done for arriving at a conclusion that was already drawn to in the article
S(umbags.
I’d love 10 minutes with these f**kers. They’d have to eat food through a straw for the rest of their lives while sitting in a wheelchair.
Are you planing on doing all this with your light saber? Also They have to be registered just like drones come January…..
Haha haha your lack of fate disturbs me. (I’m 42 and still a bloody kid!!!!) Lol
Did they not need a pin?
I presume they watched him enter it.
I always thought (in ireland anyway) that the max cash you can withdraw a day from a ATM is €600?
It was done over a few days apparently. He did realise his card was gone till then. But still!! Serious amount of money even in that amount of time.
It was done within a few hours .the banks should have rang the man . sickening altogether .
Clear picture of the heartless b@st@rd
Disgraceful.. These guys target the vulnerable in society and need to be locked up.. Such cowardly and calculated behaviour
Awful people ; is that acceptable Mr Journal
Right shower of chunts
Sc,,m bags they are the lowest form of sc,,m They are only fit to live in the gutter
The very reason I leave very little money in any accounts with an ATM card…
Sneaky cowardly filth..as said above that’s good footage so hopefully they will be caught
He’ll be caught and when he is I hope the police sort him out in a nice way in a cell, as the justice system is a joke like here.
have your say
