“I think by the non reporting of the accent its a fair bet it was not a native one. Its a shame even the police cannot tell the whole truth sometimes just incase the public concerns are proved right.... lets just have the facts im sure the bobbies will have asked the question at some point.”

“I won't use a cash machine if there are dodgy people hanging around the area, I try my best to go a Post Office to drawout of their cash machine, it also supports the local services, much safer.”

“It makes a huge difference if I am being followed by them or see them loitering around a cash machine when i go to get some money out!!!
I believe it to be a very important part of the description of the culprits and since he was approached and asked by them for money, then the victim should know what they sounded like.”
