A 28-YEAR-OLD man from Chippenham has been charged with theft after he allegedly took money from a woman at a supermarket cashpoint.
The incident happened at around 2.30pm on Sunday when a 49-year-old woman was getting £200 out of a machine at Sainsbury's in Bath Road, Chippenham.
After withdrawing the cash, she was approached by a man who snatched the money from her hand and ran off.
The woman was not hurt.
A local man was charged at around 5.30pm on Monday.
Sergeant Martin Alvis, of Chippenham police, said: "This a rare occurrence for Chippenham and something we of course take very, very seriously.
"We would urge members of the public to be aware of anything around them when withdrawing money."
