Seniors in Gelsenkirchen: unknown long fingers always brazen!

Essener Straße, 45899 Gelsenkirchen, Deutschland - Two brazen burglaries in Gelsenkirchen employ the police! On Tuesday, April 15, 2025, an unknown man crept into the house of an 88-year-old senior woman on Essener Strasse around 1 p.m. Under the pretext of working as a caretaker, he brought the old lady into the bathroom and secretly searched her apartment for jewelry. With prey in the value of unknown height, he made it away - unnoticed and unpunished!

Just a day later, on April 16, the criminal duo in Sydowstrasse performed the same unscrupulous way. Two women pretended to collect donations for the needy to get into the apartment of another 88-year-old. While a woman distracted the elderly woman, the other hastily ransacked the apartment and grabbed valuable jewelry. Here, too, the perpetrators disappeared with their prey in an unknown direction. The police urgently ask for clues to these unscrupulous perpetrators! All witnesses can report to the Gelsenkirchen police on 0209 365 8112
