Senior citizensfall prey to car theft incidents

On the 20th of August, at exactly 12:00 PM, an unfortunate incident occurred in the cemetery parking lot on Jülicher Ring Street, Euskirchen. A theft took place, and the police are currently seeking information to identify the culprit.

During the incident, an elderly woman drove to the cemetery with her 84-year-old husband. While she visited a grave, her husband remained in the vehicle. An unknown individual, who is described as approximately 60 years old, approximately 1.70 meters tall, with a Western European appearance, and wearing a cap, approached the parked car and struck the trunk.

The man tricked the 84-year-old man by knocking on the trunk, luring him out. Once the man stepped out of the car, the unknown individual opened the passenger door and stole a cloth bag containing a wallet and a key ring from the footwell of the car. The thief then fled the scene on a mountain bike, heading towards the city center via Frauenberger Street.

The stolen items include a wallet and a key ring, and the police are urging anyone with information about the man or the incident to contact them. The contact information for the Euskirchen police is 02251 799 0 or by email at [email protected].
