A trickster's perfidious embrace costs a senior citizen her valuable gold chain. The police in Maintal are investigating and are asking for information.
Maintal – An 85-year-old senior woman in Maintal in the Main-Kinzig district was the victim of theft. A woman who is between 30 and 40 years old and around 1.60 to 1.70 meters tall is described as the perpetrator. She has a strong build and long brown hair tied in a braid.
Trickster hugs senior woman and steals valuable gold chain
On Tuesday (May 20) around 6 p.m., the senior citizen was taking out her trash when a car pulled up next to her. A woman asked her for directions to the nearest pharmacy. After the pensioner explained the route, the unknown woman got out of the vehicle and hugged the elderly lady, apparently out of gratitude.
“She probably stole the gold chain worth several thousand euros from the pensioner while she was hugging her,” reported police spokeswoman Claudia Benneckenstein. After the hug, the woman got back into the car and drove away along Thomas-Mann-Strasse in an unknown direction.
The investigators from the Southeast Hesse police headquarters in Offenbach are now looking for witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrator or the vehicle. The criminal police in Hanau will receive information about the theft of the gold chain in Maintal on telephone number (06181) 100123.
Meanwhile, unknown people broke into a garden shed in Grebenhain im Vogelsberg in the early hours of May 18th. They stole bicycles as well as a pool robot and a robot lawn mower. The police are also looking for information about this crime and are asking witnesses to come forward.
