A GMP spokesman said: "On 30th September at around 2pm, a male is reported to have stolen money from victims using the ATM outside Morrison's, Mill store, Chorley Old Road.
"Victims using the ATM are approached by a man. He appears helpful, standing very close and distracting them by giving lots of explanation and using both hands to touch/point across them to areas around the ATM. The man uses the victim's card and PIN to withdraw their maximum amount without their knowledge. He then hands the card back to the victim with them unaware of the money stolen."
GMP confirmed that the store is aware of the incidents but warned people to remain vigilant and never show anyone their PIN.
If you have any information about the man in the photographs, contact the police on 101, quoting log number 853 of 02/10/2021.
