Bank hero gets calculator

A brave teenager who saved a bank thousands of pounds by foiling a cash machine scam was rewarded yesterday — with a plastic calculator.

Luke Bridges, 17, tore a false fascia off an ATM machine then fled from crooks waiting nearby who had put it there.

He ran home with the device — used to “skim” customers’ PIN codes and clone cards — and called police.

NatWest, owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland — which is worth £54.9 Billion — said they would reward the teenager for his bravery.

But when he opened a parcel from the bank he found a plastic calculator worth a few Pounds.

This certainly goes a long way to dispel the stereotype of Scots being cheap, doesn't it?
