An 86-year-old woman from Nieuw-Vennep is called by a woman who presents herself as an employee of the National Criminal Investigation Department. She says that the money from the elderly woman would have disappeared. Important to know: the National Criminal Investigation Department is not concerned with these kinds of things and will never contact us in this way. Not the police either.
A man, supposedly by the police but not in uniform, comes to her later. He gets gold jewelry, a wallet with almost 500 euros in cash, a telephone, an iPad and bank cards including codes.
4 thousand euros
In the NH agency, images of the man who with the stolen pass with the stolen pass on 23 May have been shown. At 7.17 pm he pints at an ATM on the Hoofdweg Oostzijde in Nieuw-Vennep. Later that evening, at 7.59 pm and 8.09 pm, he gets money from the wall on Lambertus Zijlplein in Amsterdam.
He then leaves for August Allebéplein, also in Amsterdam, where he pints again at 8.40 pm and 8.41 pm. In total, he takes more than four thousand euros with the stolen pass.
