Cash Machine Distraction Theft

I wanted to provide you an update regarding Personal theft (e.g. pick pocketing, no violence used), which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Oakwood ward officers placing crime prevention posters at the Sainsburys near Highlands Village which has had an increase of card theft at the outside ATM.


When using the ATM :
be aware of your surroundings,
Look out for anything unusual on or around the Cash Machine,
Cover the PIN pad whilst entering your pin,
Secure your cash and card immediately after using the machine.
