Barclay's Bank in Biggleswade hit three times this year
Scam artists have stolen cash from a number of bank accounts after targeting the same cashpoint three times in six months.
Beds Police said the Barclay's Bank cashpoint in Biggleswade High Street has been subject to a scam called a Lebanese Loop, where a plastic device is inserted into the cash card slot.
A camera positioned above keypad then takes film of the customer entering their PIN.
The customer cannot get the card back and usually walks away from the machine believing the bank has retained it for some reason.
The thieves now have both the card and the PIN number, which they use at a different cashpoint to draw money from the customer's account.
Police on 01234 841212. Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
