The incident took place in a Calverley Park Gardens at around 10am on Monday 3 April 2023, when two women with foreign accents stopped a man and asked for directions. Shortly after, the victim found his bank card had been stolen. When he contacted his bank, he was advised it had been used at a town centre cash machine in a failed attempt to steal a large quantity of cash.
Detective Inspector Rik Spicer said: ‘While these offence are not common in Tunbridge Wells and our local officers are always alert for suspicious activity, I would remind shoppers to be careful when out and about to avoid becoming victim to opportunist thieves.
