After 9 a.m., two people posing as employees of the building manager knocked on the door of an 80-year-old resident of Bolesławiec. The man and woman informed the victim that there was an interruption in the water supply. After entering the apartment, the perpetrators took advantage of the senior’s distraction and stole PLN 1,000.
Police in Bolesławiec warn against fraudsters who try to steal money. The situations in which we may become victims of criminals can vary. As reports show, fraudsters call us or enter our homes under various pretexts, for example asking for water, offering various items for sale at attractive prices, or posing as officials such as a postman, police officer, ZUS employee, social welfare worker, emergency service worker, gas company employee, energy company employee or representatives of other institutions.
Police remind us:
- do not let strangers into your homes
- do not give money to strangers
- not everyone who calls or knocks on our door has honest intentions.
