Fraudsters outstanding as a waterworks: 89-year-olds locked up in the apartment!

A shocking incident occurred on Wednesday in Dortmund-Lücklemberg when an 89-year-old victim became unscrupulous fraudsters. Around 3 p.m., two men who spent the waterworks rang at the apartment door of the older gentleman. They claimed to have to check an alleged water pipe break in the area. The naive pensioner let the unknowns in, but what happened then is alarming: a perpetrator closed the bathroom door from the outside and stolen cash from the unsuspecting senior's wallet while his accomplice stood on the wait.

The police were alerted after the 89-year-old could draw attention to himself through screams. The two criminals fled in a black Audi, whose license plates are partly known to "MK". The investigators have already initiated criminal charges for deprivation of liberty and theft and ask the public for clues. The police also warn of such fraudsters and gives valuable prevention instructions to prevent similar incidents. Anyone who has made suspicious observations should report immediately under 0231/132-7441, reports www.presseportal.de .
