A spokesman said: “With regard to specific areas, the advice is to avoid Santander machines throughout Lancashire. We are still taking reports but a series of similar incidents last week occurred in all parts of the County.

“The advice therefore, is not limited to a specific area or town. It is not clear if machines beyond Lancashire have been targeted, so customers outside of Lancashire should contact Santander if they are concerned or see anything suspicious.”

Santander says it is unable to deactivate the cash machines.
