Old lady robbed in clinic

Tue 11th May, 2010

A 91 year old woman was robbed in a Munich clinic by a 21 years old drug addict. Police officers found identification documents and cash belonging to the old lady on a man who was found in the clinic in an unconscious state.

Police officers searched his clothes and found identity papers and keys. As it turned out, these were the items stolen by a patient in another hospital. The 91-year-old pensioner was able to recall that the 21-year-old man had claimed he was an employee of the hospital and had the task of leading them for a walk. In the evening it turned out that she had been robbed.

The accused was brought before a judge at the weekend after the arrest warrant was issued against him.
