Support fraud: Seniors brought five -digit sum!
Karl-Marx-Allee, 10243 Berlin, Deutschland - police forces of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office caught two men on Tuesday afternoon who stiled an 86-year-old under the pretext of being police officers. The 25-year-old knocked on the door of the senior in Karl-Marx-Allee and pretended to have to secure the valuables of the old people's home. In the meantime, his accomplices, a 22-year-old, had won the victim's trust on the phone to steal his valuable jewelry. The loss is estimated in the low five -digit range.
The emergency services arrested the two perpetrators quickly after the theft, with a telescopic cutting stick being found in the younger man. Both men were brought to the identity assessment and should be brought before the investigative judge. The police urged: fraudsters often spend civil servants in order to bring unsuspecting citizens around their savings. Citizens should never personally hand over money or valuables to strangers and get support from confidants in case of doubt.| Details | |
