In Grebenhain, on the other hand, burglars were active between Friday, May 30th and Monday, June 2.

The total damage is estimated at around 200 euros. Information can be directed to the Lauterbach police station on 06641/971-0.

A particularly dramatic case affects a 77-year-old man from the Vogelsberg district who was driven by a supposed Polishin via social media. He transferred the stranger, who spent his love, codes of Steam cards worth around 4,000 euros. It was only when the encounter failed and she told him about an accident that he recognized the perfidious scam. Experts warn of love scamming and advise to ignore suspicious contacts and inform the police.
