The carabinieri of the Como company, with the Nucleo Radiomobile and the “gazelles” of the Albate station, are chasing an Opel Meriva which yesterday at 11.20 allegedly robbed an elderly woman in the parking lot of the Tavernerio hyperal in via Briantea. Not many details are yet known about the affair, waiting for the victim to present himself to file a complaint regarding the incident, providing details on the dynamics of what happened.
From what has been possible to learn, however, the criminals would have used the classic coin scam that is often staged in the parking lots of supermarkets or shopping centers. In practice, an accomplice – often an apparently kind girl – approaches the victim who is getting into the car after shopping, or who is walking in the parking lot, indicating that some coins had been lost shortly before. When the lady turns away to collect the coins, getting distracted, a second accomplice goes into action by snatching the purse or stealing it from the passenger seat of the car.
