Police warn: Fraud and dangerous incidents in Osnabrück!
The Osnabrück police station is currently dealing with several cases that indicate a worrying level of crime. Incidents of importance to the population occur again and again. First and foremost is a particularly brazen case of hit-and-run that occurred in Voxtrup.
A 13-year-old girl caused an accident when she collided with a parked car. After the collision, the teenager and a companion fled the scene of the accident. In this context, there is suspicion of alcohol abuse before driving, which is why the police have initiated an investigation into driving without a license and endangering road traffic. Interestingly, the criminal consequences are uncertain due to the girl's lack of criminal responsibility.
A cheating duo
In another case, a couple in Sutthausen fell victim to unscrupulous fraudsters who posed as fake police officers. These crooks claimed that burglars were targeting the couple's assets. Deceived and unsettled, those affected invested money in gold and handed it over to the supposed investigators. The police are paying more attention to this scam, which is becoming increasingly popular, and are passing on valuable tips to citizens.
Be careful when shopping
In addition, a handbag was recently stolen from a supermarket parking lot in Bramsche. An unknown perpetrator, described as around 20 to 25 years old, with dark hair and beige sweatpants, stole the bag from a shopping cart and fled. There are indications of a possible second person who could be involved in the crime. For this reason, the police are asking for information from the public.
In Bad Rothenfelde there was also a break-in in two containers at a construction site. Here, unknown people stole radios, fan heaters and deposit boxes. The property damage is currently unclear, but the police are also accepting information here.
A call for vigilance
In view of these incidents, the police are appealing for caution when driving and dealing with calls from authorities. Older people in particular should contact relatives or the police if they have any doubts or uncertainties in order to protect themselves from fraud and other crimes.
A new service is available that makes reporting simple crimes easier: Anyone can easily report crimes using the police online watchdog. The categories range from fraud to theft to property damage. This form of reporting not only helps those affected, but also provides the police with valuable information to increase the safety of citizens. You can find out more about this on the Onlinewache website.
Overall, it is important to stay vigilant and keep your eyes open to make your environment safer. The police have their hands full and every little tip can help reduce crime and improve the feeling of security in the area.
