An 88-year-old woman has issued a warning after she was scammed out of £1,000 by con artists in a supermarket car park. Lola Sledmere, believes one man distracted her while another sneaked into her car and took her card.
It happened while she was returning her trolley after shopping at Tesco in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. She then had £1,000 taken from various cashpoints as far as 47 miles away over the next two days.
Lola, who has seven grandchildren, saw CCTV from the supermarket that seemed to show a third thief loitering behind her as she entered her PIN at the checkout. She thinks they worked together.
