Warning to Tesco, Asda and Morrisons supermarket shoppers over car park scam

A nan who fell victim to a car park scam outside a Tesco has called on supermarkets to do more to protect their customers.

Lola Sledmere, 88, has finally been reimbursed the £1,000 taken by scammers who followed her in a Tesco. Lola was distracted by the scammers at a trolley bay who swiped her bank card from her unlocked car just yards away.

She reported the subsequent fraud and theft of £1,000 at various cashpoints but was initially frustrated with the response of her bank TSB and the police. The gran of seven has finally received the sum - and a further £150 in compensation from TSB - but she remains wary of supermarkets and wants large businesses to help their customers.
