A woman found £8,000 was taken out of her bank account and spent in a number of shops while she was exercising after her locker was raided when she was at the gym. Charlotte, who does not want her full name published, told the BBC she was exercising at a Virgin Active gym when her belongings, including her bank cards and phone, were stolen.
Charlotte told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme. "I was completely stuck, I just froze." The thieves went on a spending spree - including £700 spent at Selfridges.
Charlotte was told her card had been used to make about £8,000 worth of purchases from her current account, with goods bought from two Apple stores and Selfridges within 90 minutes.
