trick thefts and their methods

The incident in Fellbach is involved in a worrying development: older people are often the target of trick thieves who are targeting valuable objects in their apartments. According to there are three basic patterns according to which perpetrators can proceed:

• pretense of an emergency that requires the victim's assistance.
• pretend to an official property that entitles the perpetrator to enter the apartment.
• pretending a personal relationship with the victim who suggests an invitation to enter the apartment.

This method is particularly effective because it enables the perpetrators to act undisturbed, while the older people are often unable to defend themselves or recognize the situation immediately.

Another aspect that should be adequately addressed is the fear of older people of violent offenses, which, according to the police, is strongly pronounced, but keeps the risk of a raid relatively low in large -city metropolitan areas. Rather, the threats for seniors can often be found in their own four walls.

The police advise to be vigilant and in the event of suspicious people immediately contact the authorities. Prevention against trick theft and fraud is an important step that every company can do to protect themselves and others. Further information on this is available in the download area.
