When the machine produced the victim’s money, the man pounced.

He grabbed the money from behind the woman and ran away.

Police have released CCTV of a man who they believe can assist with their enquiries.

He is perceived to be Caucasian in appearance, about 177cm tall with a thin build, aged in his 20s to 30s, black hair and a beard and moustache.

He was wearing a black t-shirt, pink shorts, a black cap and sunglasses.

7 News reporter Jodi Lee told Nick McCallum it was a callous attack

“A very brazen attack,” Jodi said.

“She was taking out quite a large sum of money, about $1000.

“She was only here on holidays, presumably just to spend Christmas with family and friends, she’s now gone back to WA.”
