POLICE have asked for the public’s help to find a woman who they believe stole hundreds of pounds from cash machines in Harrogate.

The woman took money from a Royal Bank of Scotland ATM at Tesco Express, in Knaresborough Road, at about 7pm on Thursday, March 24.

Police believe she also made a number of withdrawals from cash machines, including one outside McColl’s newsagents on Knaresborough Road, between Saturday, February 12, and Thursday, March 31.

Police have released this image as part of their investigation. PC Martin Ruddock, of the Harrogate Safer Neighbourhood Team, said: “I would like to speak to anyone who recognises the woman and ask that they contact the police straight away.”

Anyone who recognises the woman in the CCTV picture, or has any information which might help, should phone Harrogate police on 0845 6060247, or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
