The imagination of crooks is limitless when it comes to breaking into private homes, preferably elderly, to steal money or jewelry. Friday, August 27, 2021, the police Caen (Calvados) warns against a new modus operandi, which appeared during the summer of 2021.
They pretend to be a neighbor
Presenting themselves as a neighbor or the relative of an acquaintance, the criminals come to the homes of the elderly, claiming to want to shelter jewelry, or gold coins, before going on vacation. “Can I put them in your hiding place?” », They inquire then.
Gullible people then show them the place where they themselves hide their savings or their values … and dishonest visitors take the opportunity to steal them discreetly! Before taking the escampette powder.
Flyers in bakeries
In recent weeks, three facts of this nature have been listed: two in Caen and one in Hérouville Saint-Clair, in the Caen suburbs.
To prevent this new scam, the police distributed flyers in bakeries in the city, as the gendarmerie had done previously.
