Warning Issued Over Cash Machines
Police have warned the public to be aware of a possible scam involving bank machines.
The warning comes after a skimming device to steal people's bank details was discovered on an ATM in Newcastle, Co Down, over the weekend.
Skimming devices can be attached to the front of a cash machine. A customer's card details are then copied and allows criminals to withdraw money.
A spokesperson for the PSNI said anyone using a cash machine should always make sure they keep their PIN number shielded and to be aware of their surrounding and people around them when withdrawing money.
