The arrested thief from Skopje "operated" on women, posing as an enumerator and a nurse

The 35-year-old woman from Skopje, whom the police announced yesterday committed several thefts and frauds, falsely presented herself as a census taker, nurse, patient and relative, and her victims were exclusively other women.

She is suspected of six serious thefts in which she stole 28 thousand denars and two credit cards in a period of 18 days, the Prosecutor's Office said, which is asking for her detention.

The woman used both the coronavirus epidemic and the census to deceive the robbed victims, and some of them even let her into their homes.

"On September 3, at a bus stop near the market in the Cento neighborhood, the suspect approached a victim and after a short conversation with her, took advantage of a moment of inattention and took her bag containing a wallet with a card and money, as well as a sweatshirt. in a total value of 6.000 denars.

On September 8, the accused came to a house on "Kavadarska" street in Skopje, introduced herself to the owner as a nurse who came to examine him and put bandages on his legs. While he was preparing for the examination, she stole a wallet with 16.000 denars from the home.

On September 9 and 10, however, she entered two homes, posing as an enumerator from the census commission. She asked the owners for a vaccination certificate and while they were looking for the certificate, she took their wallets containing bank cards.

In the house of another victim, on September 14, the suspect introduced herself as the neighbor's niece, and taking advantage of the moment when the owner briefly left the room, took a wallet with about 3.000 denars.

On September 21, the suspect approached a victim in front of a pharmacy in Singelić, asked her to give her money for medicine, then grabbed her wallet, which contained 3.000 denars," the Prosecutor's Office said.
