A cunning burglar conducted a break-in in Riedlingen on Monday.

In a concerning incident, a 90-year-old man was robbed at the Ulm Cemetery Parking Lot around 3 pm. The thief, described as a man approximately 45-45 years old, standing at around 170 cm tall, with a slim build, short dark hair with gray streaks, and an Eastern European accent, managed to steal an envelope containing the man's bank transfer receipts.

The robbery occurred when the unknown man asked the elderly victim to change a 2-euro coin. Taking advantage of the situation, the thief dropped a coin, creating an opportunity for the robbery to take place. The thief then stole the envelope from the car's trunk while the victim was distracted.

The Ulm Police Headquarters is urging the public to take precautions to prevent similar incidents. They advise against giving change to strangers, and to only do so after receiving the amount to be changed. Additionally, they advise not to let strangers see into your wallet, and to show courage and be impolite to deter strangers.

For further inquiries regarding this case, the Ulm Police Headquarters can be contacted at [email protected] or by phone at 0731/188-1111 (contact number for Bernd Kurz). The Riedlingen police have initiated an investigation to find the trickster responsible for this robbery.
