Schwalmtal (dpa/lhe) – After the attempted scam on an elderly woman in the Vogelsberg district, the police arrested the alleged perpetrator and placed him in custody. The 27-year-old wanted to pick up the valuables from the woman in Schwalmtal, police and prosecutors said on Friday. She was called on Wednesday by a woman pretending to be her daughter and saying she had caused a fatal accident. If she doesn’t pay the money, she’ll have to go to jail. However, when she saw who was collecting the money, the elderly woman had doubts and went back into the house. The man fled and was arrested in the evening near Schweinfurt as part of the immediately initiated search.
