A notorious burglary shook Künzell on Tuesday, November 5th! Unknowns penetrated into an apartment building between 5:30 p.m. and 6.30 p.m. and made themselves through a window on the fourth floor on several rooms. The brazen criminals left a trace of devastation and stole precious jewelry and cash in the middle five -digit euro range. The prepared property damage amounts to around 1,000 euros. The police asks witnesses who have something to report to report on 0661/105-0.

But that's not all: An 81-year-old man from the Fulda district was victims of a roster fraud-the love scamming! In September there was an alleged contact with an alleged contact with an employee of the World Health Organization. The charming unknown, who pretended to be wealthy to the elderly, asked for his help because her account was supposedly blocked. The good faith transmitted 81-year-old voucher codes worth around 6,000 euros before the perfidious truth became clear to him: he was only another victim in the unscrupulous world of online fraud.

The retreat tendencies of those affected and the associated sense of shame offer the fraudsters a perfect platform to continue to act.
