Scammers target man with intellectual disability, steal €800

Date:

Police in Larnaca are investigating an alleged ATM fraud case after two women reportedly stole €800 from a 46-year-old man with an intellectual disability.

According to a complaint filed by the man’s 70-year-old father, the incident took place on 31 October, when two women approached his son outside their home in Livadia and asked him for €5.

When he said he had no money, the women allegedly took him to an ATM, claiming they would withdraw €5 using his bank card.

However, they allegedly withdrew €800 before leaving the scene.

Police have released a photograph of one of the women and are appealing to the public for information that could help identify her.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the authorities.
