In Mannheim there was an unfortunate incident in which an 88-year-old senior citizen was the victim of a trick theft. The crime occurred on Wednesday afternoon in the Rheinau district, with the injured party being deceived by the perfidious stitch of the perpetrators. These used the fraud known as the "piece of paper" to get access to the woman's premises.

While one of the perpetrators got involved in a conversation, the other searched the apartment and stolen jewelry with an estimated value of around 10,000 euros.
