Since the beginning of the year, elderly people in Styria, Lower Austria, and Upper Austria have fallen victim to a con artist who first asked them to change a two-euro coin. The police are now asking the public for information about the man.

According to the state police department, the man acts alone with a friendly and well-groomed appearance. He specifically approaches older individuals under the pretense of wanting to change a coin. If they are accommodating, he pressures them, deliberately distracts them, and steals cash or even the ATM card from their wallets.

Police search for con artist: Information requested

Investigators now have videos from surveillance cameras at the crime scenes, which have now been released for publication by the Leoben public prosecutor's office. The suspect is between 1.70 and 1.75 meters tall and is estimated to be between 40 and 50 years old. He has short dark hair, a well-groomed appearance, and speaks with a foreign accent.

Relevant information about the suspect can be provided by calling 059-133-60-3333 or 133.
