Thief strikes in the supermarket: stolen wallet from rollator!

Borken-Gemen, Deutschland - Borken, Raiffeisenstraße - A shocking incident occurred on November 9, 2024 in a consumer market that once again draws attention to the unscrupulous methods of pickpockets. Around 12.30 p.m., only for a fleeting moment of carelessness, an unsuspecting customer was stolen from her wallet in her rollator.

The injured party had focused on a product on the shelf for a short moment when the thieves struck. When she turned over again, it was too late - her handbag was open and the valuable accessories had disappeared without a trace! Such brazen thefts often happen in markets where video surveillance is missing and the crooks use the crowds and hustle and bustle in business to carry out their criminal machinations unnoticed.

The police warn: Protect yourself!

The investigators of the criminal commissioner in Borken are urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information on this incident. The police repeat their urgent warning of pickpockets, which are targeting careless buyers. You often run your criminal craft with a distraction - a short bump or a fleeting touch, and the prey is already in the sack! To protect themselves, the officials recommend stowing up valuables in closed inner pockets and giving walks through the shops with a watchful eye.

It is important that money and personal documents are kept in different pockets. Belt pockets or chest bags offer additional safety, while bags should always be worn in such a way that the closure side shows the body. Be vigilant or risk becoming a victim of these brazen thieves!
