False police officers in Ueckermünde: Fersor theft!

Ueckermünde, Deutschland - A shocking incident occurred on November 27, 2024 in Ueckermünde (LK VG)! A 60-year-old man received a call from a supposed police officer who informed him about an alleged gang of robbers in the area. The caller, who pretended to be a member of the state security, quickly asked questions about money and valuables in the house. The injured party, concerned about his security, mentioned that he had a wall safe.

a short time later, between 6:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., the wrong policeman appeared at the door of the family home. The approximately 38-year-old man with blonde, short hair showed up the safe and asked for tools to be able to "secure" it. With a hammer and screwdriver, he began to mount the safe from the wall. But when this did not succeed, he allegedly left the house to get a "colleague" to support. However, this second man, with a West Asian appearance, did not come as a savior, but as part of the fraud plan.

The detection of the fraud

The two men ultimately failed in their project to steal the safe, and announced that they will return at 9:30 a.m. the next morning to collect the safe. However, the injured party became suspicious when the second "colleague" looked dubious. In a clever move, he informed the real police before damage could occur. Fortunately, the man remained intact and no theft was carried out.

The police from Neubrandenburg have noted the incident and warns the citizens of such fraud stitches. Be careful when you get calls from "police officers" and don't let yourself be put under pressure! Protect your property and immediately report suspicious activities to the real police.
