We keep all crime threats under review, and work with the police and other partners to determine whether there is more to be done to address specific threats.

We have not had any recent discussions specifically about criminal attacks on ATM cash machines, but we will look carefully at recent trends as part of our ongoing work with the police and relevant industry leads to tackle new and emerging crime threats.
