76-Year-Old Woman Hands Over 35,000 Euros in Cash Savings for Children to Imposter Police Officer
A 19-year-old man from Deventer was arrested on Friday for defrauding a 76-year-old woman from Kerkrade of 35,000 euros in cash savings intended for her children. On Thursday, July 23, the victim received an anonymous call from an imposter claiming she had been chased and needed to secure her home; he later visited her residence and collected the money. The police identified the suspect through camera footage shared on social media, leading to his arrest when he failed to surrender voluntarily. He is currently detained pending further investigation and will be presented before a examining magistrate on Wednesday.
