Enhanced Management of Roadways Traffic
In a significant development, the Bavarian Middle Franconia Police Headquarters announced the arrest of two suspects accused of fraud charges. The arrest took place during a routine traffic control by the Bayreuth Traffic Police Inspectorate.
According to the press office of the Bavarian Middle Franconia Police Headquarters, the arrest warrants were issued by the same authority following the discovery of a telephone scam in Nuremberg Zerzabelshof on February 15, 2024.
The two suspects, aged 21 and 23, were arrested on the spot by the civil patrol of the Bayreuth Traffic Police Inspectorate. The valuables, worth around €70,000, were found in a car checked by the police officers at a service area near Himmelkron.
However, the gold coins, which were part of the valuables, were proven not to belong to the two men arrested. Several documents found in the car pointed to an elderly woman from Nuremberg Zerzabelshof as the owner of the valuables.
On the same evening, a patrol from Nuremberg-Ost Police Inspectorate visited the elderly woman's apartment in eastern Nuremberg, where it was discovered that she had recently fallen victim to the scam.
The scam involved fake police officers who were securing valuables. The press office of the Bavarian Middle Franconia Police Headquarters has provided contact information for those seeking more details. Their website can be accessed at http://unsere Plattform.de/P4TQ8h. The press office can also be contacted via email, phone, and fax during office hours, and there is an emergency phone number available as well.
It is important to note that the search results do not provide specific information about suspects connected to telephone fraud in Nuremberg Zerzabelshof who were arrested by the Bayreuth traffic police the previous day. They only mention a 28-year-old man fleeing a traffic control in Nuremberg and resisting arrest but do not link him to telephone fraud or the Bayreuth police.
As always, the public is encouraged to report any suspicious activities to the authorities and to be vigilant against scams. The Bavarian Middle Franconia Police Headquarters urges everyone to verify the identity of anyone claiming to be a police officer before handing over any personal or valuable items.
