Bergisch Gladbach: 83-year-old in grocery store!

Bergisch Gladbach is all about a regrettable incident that puts the feeling of security of the citizens to the test. On Tuesday, October 8th, an 83-year-old woman was the victim of theft in a grocery store. The incident occurred between 10:00 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in a shop in De-Gasperi-Straße, in the Gronau district. During her shopping, the senior at the cash register noticed that her wallet had disappeared.

The wallet was previously housed in its shoulder bag, which she always wore close to the body. This shows how sophisticated thieves can operate, even if the valuables are apparently safe. In the wallet there were only a few hundreds of euros and two bank cards that the older lady immediately blocked to prevent further damage.

The investigation and safety instructions

The police are now looking for information on this unfortunate act and asks the public for help. People who have observed something suspicious are asked to report to the crime commissioner 3 in Bergisch Gladbach on 02202 205-0. Such incidents illustrate the need to always be vigilant, especially in crowds, as is often the case when shopping.

In addition, the police, money and other valuables always advise to carry the body as close as possible and always keep bags closed. This can help to avoid similar incidents and to minimize the risk of theft.

Such a situation raises questions about general security in shops and dealing with personal values. The woman affected, who was in a supposedly protected environment, became the victim of a criminal attack, which shows that crime can happen everywhere, even in everyday situations.
