Man, 78, robbed at cash machine

A man aged 78 has been robbed of about £900 at a Shropshire cash machine.

The victim was taking out money from the machine at Lloyds TSB in Telford when a woman dropped coins on the floor and he helped her to pick them up.

His wallet was apparently stolen as he bent down and money was also taken from his account using the cash machine in the incident on Foregate on Thursday.

Police, who think the woman may have been working as part of a team, are looking for a man who is about 6ft.

The woman is described as being of eastern European appearance, with dark hair and a ponytail.

She is described as wearing a black three-quarter length coat, dark blue jeans and was holding a handbag in her left hand.

The woman was seen soon after the theft with a man also described as being of eastern European appearance.

He is thought to have been wearing a waist-length jacket and dark blue jeans.
