Motorists have been warned of a scam at pay and display parking machines across Warwick district.

The county council said stickers with QR codes are being placed on the machines, directing drivers to bogus sites.

"There are bright pink warning stickers on each machine. Please heed them," a Warwickshire County Council statement said.

"We would caution motorists not to scan any QR codes or bar codes that may appear on our pay and display machines.

"Any QR or barcodes affixed onto our machines have not come from Warwickshire County Council.

"Our Pay and Display machines take cash payments and we provide the RingGo parking App to enable drivers to pay for their parking."
