He claimed to need to check the smoke detectors in the apartment. The man obviously used a favorable opportunity created by distraction to commit thefts from the apartment. The value of the stolen goods is likely to be in the lower four-digit euro range. The man was able to leave the apartment in an unknown direction after committing the crime. The person can be described as follows: male, approx. 170 cm tall, approx. 50 years old, black hair, dark 3-day beard, dark trousers, dark jacket, southern appearance, spoke German with an accent. The criminal police are asking for information from the public in this context and are looking for witnesses who may have made suspicious observations. It is not ruled out that there may be other victims who may have let the person into the apartment and the theft has not yet been noticed. Information can be given to the police station in Meschede under the telephone number 0291 - 90200.
