Crime watch TV programme this morning with Rav was in Chepstow.
They went to T--co.
A lady had done her shopping and was putting it in the boot of car, a man approached her and asked the to Leicester, (supposedly could'nt pronounce it properly), he had a map which made the women suspecious.
Anyways she was showinghim on the map which he layed across the back window, blocking the view to the front and sides of car.......she noticed he kept looking at some one to his right.
Anyways later on her husband was checking their bank account to find £300.00 was taken.Then she checked for her bank card..GONE.
Whilst showing the man the directions someone else got in side door and pinched her card!!!!! al together they got £500.00.
They got her pin by watching her at the till.....they took a photo with their mobile of he punching in the digets at the till.
SO COVER YOUR HAND WHEN PUNCHING IN YOUR PIN WHERE EVER YOU GO, AND IF YOU SEE SOMEONE SUSPICOUS TELL THE STAFF.

Flipping eck, what next!!

Jude that is not the first time this has happened, they have caught one or two who did the same thing in Gloucester, Eastern European, usually a man and a woman and it is often the woman who asks for directions.
