An elderly resident of a residential complex on the Arnold Janssenlaan in Teteringen, where many elderly people live, was scammed and robbed on Saturday evening. Two suspects were arrested thanks to an alert co -resident.
The police were called by another, very alert resident of the complex. The suspects had rang twice with the excuse that they came to deliver food. The woman did not trust it and, in addition to the police, also called the managers of the complex. She passed on the description of the two suspects.
Alert
Because this alert Mrs did not open the door, the two suspects decided to try their happiness with someone else. This time with the excuse that there was a serious leakage at the upstairs neighbors and that action had to be taken quickly to limit the damage.
The victim, an elderly woman, opened the door. She wanted the pass that one of the men showed her to see better, but she didn’t succeed. The man pushed the victim aside and walked in.
Jewellery
The victim walked with him. In the meantime, the other man probably saw the chance to enter her bedroom and steal several jewelry. Then the two men left the house of the woman and the apartment complex. They got into their car and drove away when two police cars arrived. They had rushed to Arnold Janssenlaan after the report that the other resident had made.
Because the agents knew the signalement of the suspects, one of the police cars immediately went after the car of the two men.
Vibrating of the nerves
Agents gave the driver of the car a stop sign, but he didn’t care. At Het Hoevenind in Teteringen, he decided to choose and stop eggs for his money.
The driver walked to the police car. Vibrating of the nerves, the man showed a photo of his driver’s license. He turned out to be 40 years old and nowhere to be registered in the Netherlands. The co-driver was a 59-year-old man from Maassluis.
They have been arrested, taken to a police cell complex. And secured. Research shows that they have been arrested before because of similar facts.
The disappeared jewelry has not yet been found. The police have seized the car of the suspects. Some table silver and an expensive watch have also been taken away. It is being investigated whether these items have been stolen.
