“Stormy Sabine” has not yet completely left our region, but “false roofers” are already taking advantage of the weather conditions to live out their criminal energy.

This is what happened on February 10, 2019 on the street “Zur Wegschere” in Bochum-Harpen: Alleged roofers showed up.

There, two younger “craftsmen” rang the doorbell of a senior citizen around 10:15 a.m. and told him that the roof of his house was damaged. Together they go into the attic to inspect the supposed damage.

While one of the “roofers” stays on site, his “colleague” goes into the kitchen with the homeowner and negotiates the costs of the repair. To make a deposit, the man from Bochum opens a cupboard and gives the man 100 euros.

Then you go back to the attic, where the 80-year-old senior is distracted and involved in an intensive conversation - with consequences!

During the conversation, one of the “roofers” goes back into the kitchen unnoticed and has enough time to search it.

Using the pretext of having to get materials, the two “fake craftsmen” leave the house a little later and, as expected, never come back.

After a delay, the senior realizes that a cash box has been stolen and informs the police.

The Bochum criminal police are now expressly warning of this scam by the lousy tricksters and are asking for information on 0234 / 909-4135 (KK 13) and 0234 / 909-4441 (criminal station).
