French thieves flash breasts to distract ATM user

Two French thieves are being hunted down by Paris police after one flashed her breasts at an ATM user, in order to distract him while an accomplice took his money.

Although the incident was captured on CCTV, the women have not yet been identified, and police are warning other ATM users to be on the lookout. “We would advise anyone withdrawing cash from a machine to focus on what they are doing and not allow themselves to be distracted, however attractive the view,” a spokesman suggested.
