Ahlen-Beckum. Fake employees on the move - Beware of scammers - Information requested

On Tuesday (14.01.2025), fraudsters were on the move in Ahlen and Beckum, stealing cash among other things. The two perpetrators posed as employees of a company between 12.00 and 12.30 in Margaretenstraße in Beckum, claiming they wanted to check fire alarms.
Believing that the two were actually going to check the required alarms, the residents let them into the house. Here, the men stole a wallet among other things and then fled.

In Mecklenburger Straße in Ahlen, two young men acted similarly. Here, they gained access to a residential house in the morning posing as false employees. Here too, they claimed they wanted to check fire alarms, and here too, they stole cash among other things.

In both cases, the perpetrators were on the move in a red car (presumably a station wagon) and are described as follows: Both in their mid-20s, slim builds, between 1.80 meters and 1.90 meters tall, spoke High German.

We ask witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators, who have observed the crimes or who may even have become victims of these dubious perpetrators themselves, to contact the Ahlen police, telephone 02382/965-0 or by email: Poststelle.warendorf@polizei.nrw.de.
