Fraudulent pensioner makes Munich native a target-watch horror!

Neuhausen, München, Deutschland - The Munich police have several explosive cases in the urban area that concern the mind. Above all, an incident in Neuhausen causes excitement and highlights current crime trends in the state capital.

A 54-year-old man without a permanent residence caused considerable unrest during his “visits” in the apartment of a 76-year-old Munich woman. The man pretended to be an employee of a nursing service and crept regularly into the pensioner's apartment over a longer period of time. This finally noticed irregularities and determined the loss of several valuable wristwatches with a total of several thousand euros. The lady's relatives acted quickly and informed the police, who immediately had a new castle on the apartment door.

an unexpected visit

on June 26, 2025, around 00:40 a.m., the 54-year-old rang at the door of the apartment, but when the 76-year-old's relative called the police, the man was quickly disappearing. When the police returned to the company vehicle, the officials discovered that two tires had been stabbed. The search measures were initiated immediately, and when a cyclist seemed suspicious, the police not only found a kitchen knife with him, but also a roller case with stolen objects from the pensioner's apartment. The cyclist turned out to be the 54-year-old wanted and was arrested. He now has to answer for several offenses, including theft and destruction of police ownership, and is sitting in the detention center of the police headquarters.

This event is not only an isolated case, but reflects a worrying trend. Despite a decline in crime burden in Bavaria by 3.3 percent, as the current crime statistics show, violent crime has increased by 5.2 percent. Theft, especially burglaries, also increase. These developments give the security debate new swing in the region. As the Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann emphasized, this decline does not relieve the police; Rather, the officials have to overcome additional tasks, while the number of non -German suspect increases - from 39.6 percent in 2023 to 41 percent in 2024.

professionalism on the other side

In another, equally alarming case, the Munich criminal police are investigating a professional rental fraudster, which, according to some reports, is said to have stole over 100,000 euros from more than 20 injured party. This fraudster, who spent "Fabrizio", offered an apartment on Türkenstrasse for rent. Two young sisters transferred an amount of 8,200 euros for the deposit without ever getting the keys to the apartment. After her publication of the experience on Tikkok, which reached 1.7 million views, the police became aware and covered numerous other fraud.

Overall, these cases illustrate that the crime situation in Munich is still in focus. The police are required to react to both the situational conditions in urban space and to take preventive measures. The security of the citizens remains a priority, and with increasing suspects, the challenges do not tear off. It remains to be hoped that both police work and the sensitization of citizens will be further intensified in relation to such fraud.
