Senior woman almost victims of a trickster: police warn of mesh!

Hildesheim - A brazen trickster has pretended to be a waterworks in Ochtersum and lured a senior citizen into the trap! On Wednesday at 10.50 a.m., the stranger rang the rang on the woman's front door in the Paracelsusweg. He appeared in work clothes and presented an alleged folder that showed that there was water damage at the address. Free service? Nada!

The crook disappeared again after about ten minutes, whereby he remained unobserved for a short moment - and this is exactly where the dizziness for theft could be departed. After he was gone, the elderly woman became suspicious and looked for advice from a neighbor.
