AN elderly woman had her bank card stolen during a distraction theft in Pershore.
The 78-year-old victim was withdrawing money from an ATM machine on Bridge Street, at about 1.10pm on Friday, November 13, when she noticed a man standing behind her.
The man told her she had dropped £20 out of her purse and when she looked down she saw a folded note on the floor.
She bent down to try and pick it up and seeing her struggle the man bent down and gave the note to her.
As she collected her card, receipt and money from the ATM she noticed a second man move quickly to the cash machine.
It was only when she went to use her card later that day that she noticed the machine did not accept her PIN code and police believe her card may have been swapped with another at the machine.
A cash withdrawal was also made using her original card later that day but the money has been recovered.
One of the men has been described as white, in his late 40s to early 50s, with dark hair.
The second man was described as younger than the first, with short dark hair and a dark complexion.
Call police on 101 quoting incident number 450S of 13th November with information.
