Previously, he is said to have offered assistance to the later victims during ATM withdrawals. He then likely distracted the seniors and took the money they had just withdrawn. A high-priced mobile phone was seized during the arrest. During the interrogation, the 32-year-old was generally confessing. Further investigations by the Lang group are ongoing. The currently known damage is in the low five-figure range. It cannot be ruled out that there are more victims.
