Police have warned the public to be vigilant after card-skimming devices were found at three locations across the Highlands.
Cash machines in Inverness, Fort Augustus and Aviemore were targeted at the weekend by thieves hoping to steal card details.
Inspector Ewan Henderson said: “Members of the public must pay close attention to see if there is anything unusual or suspicious about cash machines.
“To avoid being a victim there are several simple precautions to follow, including checking the card reader and the front fascia for anything that appears to be out of the ordinary before inserting your card, and checking for any unusual attachments to the ATM, such as a leaflet holder.
“You should also cover the pin key pad as you enter your number by obscuring it with your free hand.
“If you insert your card, and it appears to be retained or jammed, check the fascia and notify the bank or service provider immediately.
“Check your account balance regularly and inform your bank immediately if your account shows any transactions you did not make.”
Anyone finding a suspicious device or who has noticed suspicious activity at a cash machine should contact police on 101.
