POLICE have warned people to be careful when using cash machines after some cards in the town were retained – possibly because of a device shoved in the slot.
Local officers claimed on Twitter that there are reports about cash cards being held in cash machines due to a device being held in the slot.
The post by Oswestry Safer Neighbourhood Team reminded people of the need to stay safe – but did not specify which machines in the town had been targeted.
They added: "Please be aware of report of cash cards being withheld by machines.
"This may be as a result of this small device placed in the slot.
"Always keep a wary eye open for persons looking over your shoulder.
"Keep your PIN secure."
