A small device was fitted onto a cashpoint machine

Police say a device was fitted to the Natwest cashpoint in Bridgnorth High Street which copied data from Chris Kinnsey' cash card.

This allowed someone to withdraw �320 from the 19-year-old's account. His friend had �100 taken.

West Mercia Police are investigating the theft and people are being urged to check their bank accounts.

Mr Kinnsey's mother, Jane, said: "He checked his balance in the morning to see what had happened and there were two withdrawals - one was for �220 and the other was for �100.

"After further inquiries with the bank it turns out these withdrawals were made in Smethwick just before midnight and just after midnight."

She added: "Someone had obviously put this device onto the machine and scampered across to Smethwick to take the money out."
