In a concerning incident, a panic alarm bracelet was stolen in Gronau, Germany on July 7, 2025, at 11:30 AM. The crime took place on Gildehauser Straße, and the police are currently investigating the case.

According to the Kreispolizеibehоrde Borken, the theft occurred during a brazen daylight robbery involving a dark blue car and two individuals. The elderly victim was approached by a male driver who asked for directions to the Netherlands, while a female passenger engaged him in conversation. The female perpetrator, described as approximately 1.65m tall, with long black hair in a ponytail, and speaking broken German, engaged the victim in conversation before the theft occurred.

The perpetrators then showed excessive gratitude towards the victim, and the female perpetrator even put a golden ring on the victim's finger, which he immediately returned. After this strange interaction, the perpetrators fled towards the Netherlands.

The stolen item was a panic alarm bracelet, a device worn by elderly people to call for help in emergencies. The victim noticed the theft hours later. The police are urging the public to be cautious of strangers on the street, as thieves may create opportunities with excessive thanks and hugs.
