One of the women was visited by a man who claimed to be from home service. According to police, he stated that he would help the woman withdraw money and thus got with her bank card.

The man never returned and the woman soon discovered that there was no money from the account and in the wallet.

In the second case too, a man tricked himself into the older woman. He offered her help and after the visit there were missing bank cards, jewelry and a sum of money from the account.

In recent weeks, the police in Jönköping County have received a large number of reports of similar crimes against the elderly. Since the procedures are often the same, the police suspect that these are the same perpetrators.
