SHOP staff are being warned about a cash scam. Perpetrators ask to change notes into various denominations.

The aim is to distract staff while an accomplice steals goods or cash.

Two incidents happened in Highworth on Friday. In one, the criminals stole £60 in cash, in the second they left empty handed.

The two men involved were of Eastern European appearance, in their 20s with black hair.

Anyone targeted by the pair should call PC Martin Miles, right, at Highworth police on 01793 528111.
