Caution, trick thieves: Seniors attacked in Lichterfelde!

Lichterfelde, Deutschland - This morning a dangerous attempt at a trick theft in Lichterfelde occurred! An unknown man rang at the door of a 78-year-old around 11:40 a.m. and held a list of signatures. However, the older gentleman was not fooled, closed the door and thus alerted the perpetrators. These could not be discouraged and rang on several other doors in the apartment building. With an 82-year-old, the two crooks penetrated the apartment by force while the woman was simply pushed aside!

The 78-year-old came to his aid to his neighbor, discovered the intruders and confronted them. But the criminals were able to flee and injured both seniors, who fortunately remained intact. The State Criminal Police Office has taken up the investigation and urgently warns the citizens. Your advice: do not let strangers to your apartment and always be skeptical! Safety precautions such as opening the door with a chain or checking ID cards are essential to protect yourself. In an emergency, always contact the police under 110!
