Police are appealing for witnesses after a series of cash-snatch incidents at ATMs across West Ealing, with officers urging anyone who may have seen suspicious activity to come forward.

Five incidents were reported between January and March this year, taking place on 3 January at 22:50, 23 January at 17:50, 25 January at 00:45, 7 March at 13:30, and 24 March at 12:20.

All occurred near cash machines in the West Ealing area, and investigators believe the incidents may be linked.

Officers are particularly keen to hear from anyone who was in the vicinity at the time of the thefts, or who may have noticed individuals loitering near ATMs, behaving unusually, or watching customers withdrawing money. They stress that even small details could prove important.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101, quoting CAD 6084/23JAN26.

Those who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
