January 19, 3:11 PM, Elderly Crime, Svenljunga

Men are believed to have attempted to gain entry to an elderly woman's home in Svenjunga on Saturday by claiming they would be performing work in her home. When they arrived at the location, the attempt could be thwarted by home care staff who were present on the scene. The men, aged 20-40, were arrested during an operation in Hylte on Saturday evening and later detained. The investigation is being led by a prosecutor.

This is yet another example of criminal behavior we have warned about, where perpetrators pose as being from a bank, police, or other organization that the victim should feel trust for. In order to gain access to their homes, bank, and account information in this way.
