Attentive seniors: How thieves strike in seconds!

Wesendorf, Deutschland - Wesendorf in the sights of criminals - how fast it can be!

In a supermarket in Wesendorf, a 74-year-old was victim of a brazen theft! In just a few moments of inattentiveness, a nimble member of the thief guild grabbed the money of the older lady. The tragic scenery occurred on Wednesday afternoon when the woman safely thought her backpack with her wallet. The zipper seemed closed, but while she was briefly distracted, the perpetrator had an easy game. He escaped cash with 70 euros - and all of this, while the victim believed to be on the safe side!

The perfidious methods of the crooks

These unscrupulous thieves are particularly not targeting older people and don't even shy away from direct contact. If the thief distracts his victims with questions, such as "Where can I find the milk?" Or an apparently accidentally caused bumpier, the theft is usually not noticed. Therefore, it is crucial to stay vigilant! The police advise various precautionary measures and urgently warns of these quick tricks.

According to the police report, valuables should always be stowed away, preferably in closed interior pockets of clothing. Round exchanges should never be open in the shopping cart or in the pocket! A chest bag or a belt pocket can help keep the valuables close to the body and protect them from the greedy hands of the thieves. Make sure that you always wear your bag closed and suspect people immediately report to the staff or the police. So maybe the next thief can be put in the barrier!
