Police want to speak to his man after disabled woman intimidated at ATM

Police have released CCTV images to track down a man after a vulnerable woman was intimidated into withdrawing cash.

The incident happened at around 3.45pm on Sunday (February 28) at the cashpoint outside Tesco Express on Wells Road.

Police say the victim is aged her 20s 'but looks much younger and has learning difficulties'.

Officers say the victim was walking close to the Green Cafe when she was approached by a man who hassled her for money.


It is not believed that he threatened her, but she felt intimidated enough to go to an ATM and withdraw £20 to give to him.

A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: "We have released a CCTV image of a man we would like to speak after an incident where a vulnerable woman was intimidated into withdrawing money.
