Detective Senior Sergeant Nikki Latimer said multiple people have reported money was taken out of their bank accounts after they used the Wilson parking machines at both hospitals in the past month.

The incidents were reported to have taken place in May and June after the victims noticed amounts unknowingly taken out of their bank accounts after using the parking machine, Latimer said.

A man was captured on CCTV in Waikato DHB and police are investigating.

Police are asking anyone with information about this man to contact police on 105 quoting file number 200706/8833.

Anyone who believed they were a victim of card-skimming should notify their bank and police immediately.
