The call to the police came when it seemed too late. For an 84-year-old woman Cicciano almost embarrassed to tell what had happened to her.
The usual phone call from the fake nephew asking her to accept a package that would be delivered to her shortly. And in addition the courtesy of paying 1000 euros in advance for that item purchased online. Money that he would obviously return to her in a short time.
Everything goes as expected. The scam succeeds and the old lady realizes everything when the “courier” was already far away with the money.
The Carabinieri of the Cicciano station receive the complaint and immediately begin their investigations. They analyze the cameras installed around the house and identify 2 people, faithful to the description given by the victim. One of these shows up at the door pretending to be a courier, the other waits in the street with the scooter turned on.
The military retrace their path backwards and in synergy with other commands of the territory station identify the two. They have been reported for aggravated fraud in collaboration with a third person, the owner of the scooter.
