A suspicious money transfer led to Police responding to a bank in Newport at lunchtime today (Thursday).
Officers were deployed to Santander on the corner of St James’ Street and Pyle Street at 11:31 following reports of a transfer being made in suspicious circumstances.
It’s thought that bank staff alerted the authorities to the situation.
No arrests have been made and enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.
this isnt worth reporting if you dont have the slightest clue on the story
Someone must have requested a withdraw
That should stop people depositing cash!
Santander probably closing another branch, and some one complained, rubbish bank
It’s said money talks. Mine only seems to say goodbye.
after the old couple held at knifepoint and forced to withdraw cash it’s good to see the bank being vigilant. watch the scammer payback videos on youtube and you will probably see what’s happened!
Fast work, Santander Bank! Top marks if something dodgy did happen. Such a shame your colleagues at another branch didn’t act so fast, as far as reports to the Police were concerned, when one of the banks’ anti-fraud advisers stole £179,000 from your customers accounts. Still, I expect your prompt actions were fuelled by this very recent lesson. Or is it ‘us’ and ‘them’…?
