The Tölz police warn of a couple of fraudsters who have been up to mischief in Bavaria for months.

The two fake emergencies and rip off gas station customers, among other things.

Bad Tölz – There was now a case of fraud in Bad Tölz.

Therefore, the police once again urgently warn of the scam of the Romanian fraud couple.

The two 50-year-olds are driving a gray BMW 530d with yellow license plates from Great Britain (GB).

According to the police, the two often stand on busy roads, feign an emergency and beg good-natured road users for fuel or money.

In return, completely worthless pieces of jewelery are often given.

Worthless jewelery will be handed over as a deposit

As a further scam, they pretend at gas stations that their fuel card does not work.

Then they ask other customers to pay the fuel bill.

Here, too, they promise a refund, providing a (non-existent) cell phone number and after handing over worthless jewellery.

Customers cheated at the Tölzer gas station

This is what happened on the Thursday before Christmas at 4:17 p.m. at a gas station on Lenggrieser Straße in Bad Tölz.

There, the two spoke to a 27-year-old gas station customer from Munich and in this way stole 40 liters of diesel worth 75 euros.

Telephone numbers were exchanged and a worthless ring left as collateral.

The injured party only noticed the fraud when he was later unable to reach anyone on the phone number provided.
