Fraud in Bergen on Rügen: Carpet sellers steal the older couple!

Otto-Grotwohl-Ring, 18528 Bergen auf Rügen, Deutschland - mountains on Rügen - alarm in the city!

A German couple was victim to a brazen fraud on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, who took place in their own home. At 1:30 p.m. the 77-year-old opened the front door and, instead of neighbors, saw an unknown woman who told him to sell carpets. But that's not all! Shortly thereafter, two other women, as the alleged twin sisters of the 72-year-old wife, entered the apartment and got the couple out of time.

Suddenly the brazen women spread their carpets in the hallway and living room! From 1,800 euros, it was quickly traded to 100 euros, which the 72-year-old got out of a hidden box in the bedroom. As soon as they had received the cash, the tricksters hastily packed their carpets and disappeared faster than the couple could react. Only then did the 72-year-old find that a five-digit sum in cash from the bedroom was missing!

The search is running!

The police are now looking for the brazen women. The main suspect is described as about 1.65 meters tall, slim and with dark skin, wears dark clothes and speaks with a foreign accent. Her supposed accomplices, who appeared as twin sisters, are around 30 years old - also slim and dark haired. The police are calling witnesses to provide relevant information on the refugees who can be reported on 03838 8100 or at www.Polizei.mvnet.de.

The officials urge to be careful, especially seniors. Trick thieves aim to get into the apartment of their victims and to look for cash or valuables there. The police give valuable advice: watch unknowns closely before opening the door, only let strangers go to the apartment if you are safe and never spontaneously spontaneously spontaneously spontaneously spontaneously spontaneously spontaneously. Protection against such attacks is crucial, and you should not make your own four walls a target for unscrupulous fraudsters!
