Meanwhile up the road in Yaxley (Peterborough).

TERRIFIED staff were threatened as robbers strolled in and stripped the chip-and-pin machines from supermarket checkouts while customers were out shopping.

Comment: Hmmmmm

If your card details or PIN has been compromised shouldn't you have a right to know?

After all the banking code 12.7 states:

It is essential that you tell us as soon as you can if you suspect or discover that:
someone else knows your PIN, password or other security information.
