A frightened pensioner had an anxious start to Father's Day after witnessing thieves stealing money from a car park ticket machine.

Anne James was up at 3am yesterday to make a special Father's Day meal when she saw thieves breaking into the machines in Dawlish Warren.But after realising what was going on Mrs James's first anxious thought was to turn off the lights to make sure the criminals could not see her.
