Burglars use pretext: jewelry theft in Hamelen's senior citizens' house!

On Friday morning (April 11th, 2025) there was a brazen slump in Hameln, which feels like a thriller! An unknown perpetrator rang at the door of an 80-year-old woman in Schulstrasse and asked under the pretext to pick up old electrical appliances to get access to the house. While the good -faith lady went into the basement with him, the unknown took the opportunity and disappeared shortly afterwards - and a large amount of valuable jewelry!

The damage incurred amounts to a shocking five -digit amount! The older woman only noticed too late that her precious jewelry had been stolen when the unknown man did not return. The police immediately accepted the investigation and asks the population for help. Witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrator are urgently asked to report on 05151/933-222. A tip of life: don't let any strangers in your apartment and pay attention to your safety!
