Dozens of people flocked to a cash machine after word spread that it had started giving out free money.

The Lloyds Bank ATM in Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts, malfunctio­ned and began spewing out notes as customers withdrew cash Monday morning.

Around 60 people are reported to have queued up at the hole-in-the-wall as word spread of the possible windfall.

The fault was spotted by bosses and the cash machine put of service around 3pm.

A spokesman for Lloyds Bank said investigat­ions had begun into how the error occurred and the group would not be able to provide details on how much cash was taken from the ATM.

It is not thought that individual­s who cashed in will not be pursued to reimburse the bank.
