Customer’s sit-in over stolen cash

CHARLIE Sweeney refused to leave his local TSB branch after being left for days without help getting back £2,500 he lost to fraudsters.

The 53year-old, from Largs, North Ayrshire, yesterday sat in the branch for five hours.

Mr Sweeney, pictured, said he had warned TSB that his account was being targeted by fraudsters after receiving a suspicious call on Wednesday from a man claiming to be from the bank.

After Money Mail contacted TSB, and Mr Sweeney’s daughter, Natalie, 24, posted the problem on social media, TSB refunded his missing cash.
