Boy, 5, finds local bank unlocked
HSBC (generic)
The five-year-old was rewarded with his own bank account
A five-year-old boy has been described as a "little superhero" after finding a North Yorkshire bank unlocked.

Oliver Pettigrew pushed the front door and entered HSBC bank in Easingwold, despite the branch being closed.

The boy's father Daniel Pettigrew said he immediately called the police after his son's discovery.

A spokesman for HSBC blamed the security lapse on a fault with the electronic door, and rewarded Oliver by putting £10 in his own bank account.

The youngster's mother Alison Pettigrew said: "We couldn't quite believe it when Oliver ran into the bank.

"It's our local bank so we're in there all the time and he ran in to play with the toys.

"But it might not have been a little five-year-old who was looking for toys."

The spokesman for HSBC added: "In most of our branches we have electronic doors so they don't have a key lock and there had been a malfunction in one of the devices that actually puts the bolt across."

The branch reassured customers that no personal details were compromised during the incident.

Afterwards police told Oliver: "You're a little superhero - you've saved the day."

A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police confirmed that officers attended the bank after Mr Pettigrew's call.


Gotta laugh at them giving him £10 patrionising or what

no doubt they will get it back off him when he goes 1p over drawn

£10 is loads to a 5 year old!!!!!!

not in this day and age.. you'll be likely to get one pokermon or whatever for that...

Throw him in jail, that's what I say!..Damn kids, thinking they can walk into banks after closing time and all that...I blame the parents.

Easingwold is a small sleepy village 15-20 miles north of York, used to work around there. Surprised they have a bank!

If I was him I'd be not happy about his Dad calling the cops - I'd have wanted a wee gander about ;)

yeah...I erm..would also go into the bank..just to make sure everything is OK of course

I heard he was casing the joint for a later date

Its enough for his mum and dad to nick from him for 20 fags and 4 cans of black label carling.

My son does NOT speak from experience !!
















I hate Carling Black Label ;)

Oh silly me, I should of known the 15 yrs I was appointed the remote control finder and beer fetcher ;frustrated;
