Help prevent an ATM theft

Help prevent an ATM theft

Dear Resident,

Following recent incidents of ATM thefts, here are some things to look out for to help prevent this happening to a business near you:

Unauthorised people paying close attention to ATMs, including taking photos or attaching ‘out of order’ signs to give an impression the machine is not working properly

Tractors or heavy machinery vehicles being driven in the middle of the night

People scoping houses or tampering with number plates, thieves will often do this before stealing a vehicle to use in a ram raid

High-performance or plant vehicles that are not usually in the area and appear to have been left parked for a few days

Attaching a tracker inside your vehicle and installing CCTV or a video doorbell could help to prevent your vehicle being stolen to be used in a ram raid.

Most importantly if you see something that doesn't look right, then it probably isn't.

Always call 999 in an emergency.

Alternatively, you can report a crime on our website here.

Kind Regards,
Annabelle Mullee
