Two people have been robbed as they counted their cash at an ATM.

Kent Police are warning Christmas shoppers to be vigilant after the thefts on December 10 and eight days later at the Asda store in Thames Way, Gravesend.

In the first case a man had £150 snatched outside the store.

The second victim was more lucky - she had three £10 notes stolen out after withdrawing £40.

The woman was robbed at 6.30pm on Tuesday December 18.

The thief ran through the car park towards the entrance roundabout.

He is described as white, 20-30 years old, about 5ft 8ins, of stocky build and wearing jeans and a light blue hooded top with the hood up.
