- Instead of helping the elderly, they give up and steal their jewelry and cards, which I think is terrible, says 84-year-old pensioner Kerstin Henningsson.

The crime is increasing

The police see this type of crime as an increasing trend. So far, no one has been arrested but to do so, the police want to direct more resources towards this as well as get more testimony so these types of crimes can come to an end.

- We also want to urge the elderly to be more cautious and give up someone to be a police officer should you ask for police ID, says municipal police Tobias Bråhammar.

All the elderly are not worried

- I've been through my whole life. I am 84 years old and I have been out dancing here in Malmö and taken care of myself. I'm not scared. I can use myself again if it were so, says Kerstin Henningsson.
