Couple in Coburg threatened with gun by unknown person – police are looking for witnesses!

On the night of Saturday to Sunday, a couple in Coburg found themselves in a dangerous situation when they were threatened by a group of masked men with a baseball bat and a machete. They were on their way home after a Christmas party in Wüstenahorn when they came across a parked taxi car. The husband, who asked the taxi driver for help, was suddenly confronted by the fishing trippers who accused him of being disrespectful to the driver. The police are now urgently looking for the taxi driver as a witness to clarify the events. Anyone with information is asked to call 09561/6450 np-coburg.de reported.

Introduction of the fraudsters by an attentive taxi driver

While a couple in Coburg was harassed by a threatening situation, a taxi driver in Bünde uncovered an attempted fraud. An 85-year-old senior citizen was called by a person who pretended to be her daughter-in-law and asked for money because she needed short-term cash to purchase a property. When the elderly woman agreed, the fraudsters dispatched a taxi to organize the collection of the money.

However, the taxi driver noticed discrepancies when handing over the money and immediately informed the police. This set emergency services in motion and observed the handover. When the fraudster showed up at the meeting point, she was arrested and is now in custody while the senior citizen got her money back. This shows how important vigilance is in everyday life, especially when it comes to suspicious calls, like westfalen-blatt.de notes.
