Overview

• In Utrecht, a youth posed as a police officer to enter a woman’s home on 18 August, stealing €2,500 in cash, her phone and bank card, then withdrawing another €5,000.
• In that Utrecht case, investigators say the suspect’s face is blurred due to his age but will be shown next week if he does not come forward.
• In Rotterdam, a 31‑year‑old woman lost €8,000 after a caller pretending to be a bank employee obtained her PIN by phone and a man later collected her card for multiple withdrawals at a Geldmaat on the Hoogstraat.
• The Rotterdam pinner was filmed and is described as a man wearing sunglasses, an Under Armour cap, a dark New Balance sweater and frayed jeans.
• In Stad aan het Haringvliet, an 83‑year‑old handed over bank cards, PINs and jewellery to a fake police officer, after which cash was withdrawn at a Primera in Middelharnis and the withdrawer was clearly recorded; police ask tips via the Opsporingstiplijn (0800‑6070) or anonymously to Meld Misdaad Anoniem (0800‑7000).
