DETECTIVES want to speak to these two men following a theft in Pangbourne last week.
The victim, a 49-year-old woman, tried to withdraw a sum of cash from the ATM at Co-op in The Square.
However, after she typed in her pin code, the machine swallowed her card and she believed there was a skimming device attached to it.
Just minutes later, a quantity of cash was withdrawn from her account from the exact same ATM.
Her card was then used to buy gift cards from Waitrose in Oxford Road, Reading.
Today (Saturday) Thames Valley Police have released CCTV images of two men they believe can help with the investigation.
A police spokesman said: “Thames Valley Police is releasing CCTV images of two men officers would like to speak to in connection with a theft.
“Shortly before 7.30pm on Thursday the victim, a 49-year-old woman, used the ATM at Co-op in The Square, Pangbourne.
“The machine swallowed her card and she believed there was a skimming device attached to it.
“Several minutes later a quantity of cash was withdrawn from her account using the same machine.
“Ten minutes later her card was used to purchase gift cards from Waitrose, in Oxford Road, Reading.
“Officers investigating the theft would like to speak to the two men shown in the CCTV images, as they may have information which can assist the investigation.
“If you have any information relating to this case, please call 101 quoting reference '43180165240', or contact Crimestoppers anonymously.”
