ATM Scams Targeting Elderly in Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire Police warn of a slick cash machine scam targeting victims with fake dropped money distractions—resulting in over £10,000 stolen in just two incidents. In Beeston, an elderly man lost £6,000 after his card was swapped while he looked away; in Mansfield, a woman in her seventies lost £4,700 under similar circumstances. Authorities believe the cases are linked and are actively investigating while helping victims recover funds. Stay safe: use ATMs in well-lit areas, cover your PIN, keep your card in sight, and never let strangers distract you—report anything suspicious to Nottinghamshire Police on 101.
