"However, shortly afterwards he noticed that money was missing from his account.

"Two men were seen acting suspiciously near the ATM at the time and we believe could have potentially tampered with it."

Detectives believe the men in the images could potentially assist with their investigation and are asking them, or anyone who recognises them, to call 101 using incident number 22000024256.
