Older ladies from Roosendaal and Gilze were scammed in February with a chat trick. In both cases, the victims submitted their debit card. In Gilze, the suspect presented himself as an agent. “Do people no longer have a moral awareness at all?” The police are wondering in program Bureau Brabant. Images of the perpetrators have now been released.
The very old victim from Roosendaal is somewhat confused and sometimes suffers from a delirium (sudden confusion). “The perpetrator has abused that,” the police think. The victim’s daughter was called by the neighbor with the message that “her mother walked down the street in a panic without a walker, that she shouted that she was scared and that men wanted to grab her.”
Upon arrival it turned out that the woman’s debit card was included. How exactly that happened is not entirely clear the police. It is clear and ready that the stolen only used in various places in Brabant and South Holland. And that a mountain of money has been collected from the bill.
The man is clearly captured in a few places. At an ATM where he withdraws money and he is also spotted at a gas station. There the thief settles some things with the debit card of the old woman.
In Gilze too, an old woman was scammed in almost the same way by a possible minor boy. Together with another suspect, he presented himself as an agent, and convinced the woman to release her debit card and even jewelry. There would be something wrong with her pass. “In the meantime a well -known trick, but be careful,” the police warn. “Because we never ask for your debit card.”
The boy is captured on security cameras at different times. For example in the Coolblue in Tilburg, where he buys an expensive smartphone of the victim’s money. Moments later he can also be seen on images of an ATM, where he pint thousands of euros with the stolen pass.
Previously, those images are already unrecognizable. “The boy has now had two weeks to report to the desk, that time is now,” the police say.
