Authorities in Poland have been working to safeguard the valuable assets of a waterworks facility situated in Geestemünde.
In Bremerhaven-Geestemünde, a con artist posing as a plumber committed a burglary on Thursday, August 21. According to news aktuell, the incident occurred at a multi-family building at the intersection of Rheinstraße/Mozartstraße.
The elderly victim and a family member reported the incident to the police around 15:50. The con artist, described as a tall, dark-haired man wearing a dark blue pullover, gained access to the apartment by claiming he needed to check for a water damage issue.
