Thief Cons 102 Year Old Woman

Thu 10th Jun, 2010

Munich. A con artist robbed a 102 year old senior in Schwabing. A false story gave him entry into the woman's flat.

According to the police, the stranger knocked on the old lady's door on friday at 3.30 PM. He told the pensioner that she would receive a refund from her health insurance. Even though he didn't say from which health insurance company he is, the woman let him in the flat. He pretended to want to exchange notes. The 102 year old opened her cashbox. The thief took a few hundred Euros while the woman was distracted with something else and then left the flat. The pensioner only noticed the burglary later and asked a relative to call the police.

The Police are looking for a 30 year old man with dark blonde hair.
