ATM gives out free money in the UK

Bank customers cashed in after bungling staff put £20 notes in a cashpoint instead of tenners.

Workers described the queue outside Lloyds TSB in Grays, Essex, as "a feeding frenzy".

One said: "People were ringing up friends to come down."

A sign asking customers not to use it was torn down. After 45 minutes staff turned off the ATM, reports the Daily Mirror.

An expert said: "It could have cost £10,000."

CCTV identified each customer - but bosses say they will not reclaim cash because "a loading error" meant "people got more than they bargained for".
