Scots pop star Lulu gave chase to a thief after he snatched her bank card at an ATM.
The singer was taking money out at a NatWest branch in Kensington in London when she was approached by a man who told her the machine was broken. After telling her she needed to go into the bank, he grabbed Lulu's card and ran away.
An onlooker said the pop star was stunned for a moment, before running after the man. The onlooker said: "She ran after him shouting 'My card, that man's got my card'."
The thief escaped by jumping into a car and driving off the wrong way down a one-way street. Lulu, 64, who was brought up in Glasgow, had been visiting the cashpoint on the corner of Kensington High Street after shopping at the American chain Whole Foods.
After the thief escaped in the car, Lulu called the police who were on the scene within minutes.
The Metropolitan Police said they were investigating but that no arrest had been made. Lulu's spokesman refused to comment.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
