After a previous “shock call,” police arrested a 36-year-old man on Thursday afternoon.
The incident
Fraudsters contacted an elderly couple from Meersburg by telephone on Thursday and posed as police officers. In the further conversation they stated that their son had caused a fatal traffic accident abroad and that they now had to pay a sum of money to avoid imprisonment. The callers managed to gain the trust of the couple, so they provided five-figure euros worth of valuables and cash as a deposit for collection. Fortunately, after a call to the daughter-in-law, the fraud was discovered in time, whereupon the police were contacted.
Suspect caught
Officers from the Meersburg police station managed to temporarily arrest the 36-year-old suspect at around 2 p.m. when he was apparently in the process of picking up the “deposit” that had been provided.
He had to spend the night in the detention facility at the Überlingen police station and was brought before a judge in charge on Friday afternoon at the request of the Konstanz public prosecutor's office. He issued an arrest warrant for commercial and gang fraud and carried it out. Since then, the 36-year-old Pole has been in custody in a correctional facility. The Friedrichshafen criminal police's investigation into the shocking call is still ongoing.
