THIEVES have attacked an ATM and stolen cash from inside.

North Yorkshire Police said it happened at about 4am today at The Spa in Scarborough.

A police spokesman added: "The suspects removed the contents but left the machine.

"It’s believed that the suspects left the scene through the Spa gardens and officers are appealing to anyone who finds any discarded items such as clothing, tools or other objects that appear out of the ordinary to contact them."

They advise not to touch the items but to phone the police on 101 and quote reference number 47 of December 8.
