A WOMAN who walked away from a cash machine after forgetting to take her money was upset to find it was gone after she quickly realised her mistake.

Police are now appealing for information about the theft of the cash, which was left in an ATM at the Simply Local store on Moredon Road earlier this month.

A woman withdrew £50 from the cash machine at around 11am on Friday, June 2, but forgot to take the money.

She realised her mistake a few minutes after leaving the shop and returned to the store but found that the money had been taken and not handed it.

Police would like to speak to the man in the CCTV images images issued in relation to this incident.
