Carinola (Caserta), tries to scam a 93-year-old but the woman alerts the Carabinieri. 43-year-old reported
He received a phone call in which the person calling informed him that a family member had been involved in a serious road accident and therefore, to cover legal costs, he was supposed to prepare a large sum of money or even gold objects to be delivered to a so-called “assistant” who was reaching his home to collect it.
The elderly woman (a 93 year old local) did not fall into the trap and called the police who, immediately arriving at the "granny's" house, waited for the "courier" to arrive to collect the money and jewels.
While the military were with her, the 93-year-old received numerous phone calls in which the interlocutor, with a male voice, repeated that she should prepare the money and gold objects because one of his collaborators would arrive shortly in a grey Fiat Panda to collect them.
And so it was. Shortly after, a 43-year-old man from Casalnuovo (Naples) arrived at the elderly woman's home in a grey Fiat Panda and was immediately stopped by the Carabinieri.
Following a search, the man was found in possession of two cell phones.
The 43-year-old, with a criminal record for fraud, was reported at large.
