Since the beginning of September, in Nancy and the surrounding area, there have been several complaints of thefts committed by one or more individuals using a false identity: fake water agents, fake antique dealers, fake police officers, etc. The operating procedure is well established and a Nancy couple living on rue Charles-Martel has just paid the price.
On September 22, around 10 a.m., a man dressed in a suit, in his fifties, with graying hair, showed up at the couple’s home around 10 a.m. The husband is alone in the house. The visitor claims to be a police officer, quickly shows a pseudo-police card and specifies that he is coming to investigate burglaries in the neighborhood.
Accomplices
With confidence, the victim lets him in. The usurper, an ace at diverting attention, manages to get himself taken to the garden in order to continue his bogus investigation. He thus leaves the field open for accomplices to enter the home – the front door had not been locked – and steal everything of value. Discreetly and without violence.
When the Nancy resident realizes that he has been robbed of jewelry and gold coins for an amount that he estimates at around €15,000, the fake police officer and his accomplices are already far away. A complaint has been filed and investigations are underway to try to identify the individuals.
A few simple precautions could help avoid these occurrences: never bring in a stranger whose visit you are not expecting, and in case of doubt, it is preferable to dial 17, the police emergency number, in order to have the procedure carried out. verifications.
