POLICE are investigating several thefts of bank cards in Wokingham.
They have been stolen at ATM and car parking machines in the area.
A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police for Bracknell and Wokingham, urged residents to be vigilant when paying by card.
“Ensure you are alone at these machines and if approached avoid any action that would leave your PIN or card vulnerable,” they said.
“Machines should clearly be marked if out of order. If you are uncomfortable in a situation at a machine stop any transaction and call for help or 999.”
They said that an ATM looks unusual and is attached to a bank, the user should let a teller inside know.
Calls to 999 should be for emergencies, such as someone being harassed while using a card machine, they added.
