Wallet stolen with switch trick

The suspect asked him if the senior could change money for him. The man from Troisdorf declined. However, the stranger persisted and asked him several times if he could change money for him, until a woman came out of the butcher's shop. The witness had also noticed the suspect and made it clear to him that she would now inform the police. The 81-year-old then became suspicious, put his wallet in a shoulder bag and started his way home.

When he arrived at his car, he found that his wallet with around 500 euros in cash had been stolen from the bag.

The unknown man can be described as follows:

He is between 45 and 50 years old, about 175 cm tall and has short black hair. He was wearing dark clothing.

Anyone who can provide information about the man is asked to contact the police at 02241 541-3221. (Re)
