Fraudsters go to seniors in a targeted manner: 85-year-olds stabilized in Sonneberg!

Sonneberg, Deutschland - alarm in Sonneberg! While most of us enjoy the sun, an 85-year-old senior citizen became a victim of the trimmer. On Monday afternoon, unknown perpetrators broke into their apartment and stole valuable items, including valuable jewelry and cash, while they exposed themselves as heating fitters. The first fraudster managed to get into the apartment with the pretext of the meter reading and apparently gave a complicity unnoticed. A shocking offense that only lasted a few minutes!

outrageous description of the perpetrator

The main perpetrator is described as about 180 cm tall, with a foreign, possibly Arabic appearance, long black curls, without glasses and beard and a dark blue jacket with green stripes. Has anyone seen this man? The police ask for relevant information on the identity of the unknown, who not only abused the trust of the older lady, but also steal their valuable property in peace.

The police urgently warns of other fraud stitches in which tricksters appear as employees of telephone providers or people and gain older people access to their apartments. Perfid methods are often used, such as the "Cold Stift Trick", where you ask for a pen and a piece of paper, and then penetrate the apartment quickly and unnoticed. It is high time to be vigilant!

The police advise: never let unknown persons unattended to your apartment. Be suspicious and request an announcement beforehand, such as a written letter of references to meter readings. If in doubt, you should rather contact relatives or directly to the police before you enter the stranger. Protect yourself and your loved ones from these unscrupulous criminals!
