Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – As a fake police officer, he is said to have deprived seniors of their savings in rows: a 31-year-old man who was wanted for the “fake policeman scam” was caught by the police despite forged papers, like them Police reported on Tuesday.
The fraudster, who was wanted with several arrest warrants, was tracked down and arrested by investigators in Düsseldorf. He is not only suspected of having deceived senior citizens as a “shock caller”: he had previously been sentenced to six years in prison for drug trafficking, but fled abroad before starting prison.
Police would not say how the man was found. He can now prepare himself for a longer period behind bars.
