Dozens of people queued up to use the dispenser at Sainsbury's at Jacksons in Barham Road, east Hull, hoping to take advantage of the blunder.

Eagle-eyed motorists who spotted the unusually long queue at the store pulled up outside the machine in a bid to access the cash.

Eventually police officers were sent to guard the ATM and prevent more money from being taken out after the machine's owners requested help.

A spokeswoman for Humberside Police said: "Officers received a report that a cash machine on Barham Road was giving double money to customers.

"Officers were deployed and an attempt made to contact the owners of the machine and officers remained at the scene to prevent more people from taking more money out."

It is not yet known how much money was taken out, although it could run into thousands of pounds.

The spokeswoman said police had not received any complaints from the owners of the cash machine.

The ATM is owned by a company called Payzone, a spokesman later confirmed. He said the fault was due to the machine being filled with the wrong denomination of notes.

An investigation was under way into the incident and the machine had been taken out of service, he added.
