Trick theft in Böblingen: Unknown intruder escapes!

On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, an attempted trick theft was carried out in Böblingen, more precisely on Merrschaftsgartenstraße. An unknown man who pretended to have to check the water in the house came into the apartment of a 79-year-old woman around 10:00 a.m. The perpetrator, who spoke as a craftsman, took the opportunity to distract the woman and to search the cupboards for valuables both in the bed and in the living room.

The situation escalated when the resident became aware of the man and discovered him. The unknown perpetrator then fled without prey. For the current state of the investigation, he apparently has not stealed anything worth stealing. According to information from neighbors, a total of three people were involved in the crime. While an accomplice took a position in front of the house, two people entered the building. So far, no more precise information has been known about the exact role of the third man who is supposed to be in the house.

The description of the main perpetrator is interesting. It is estimated as about 180 cm tall and between 20 and 25 years old. His appearance was striking: he was wearing white rubber gloves, a blue windbreaker and black pants. He also spoke German -free German and looked strongly built. There is currently no information about the other two suspects, and the exact connection of the third man remained unclear.
