Fraud in Carinthia: Car Driver Stopped and Asked for Money

As reported by the police in a press release, the Romanians stopped vehicles, asked for cash, and promised an immediate refund, which did not occur. A woman fell for the scam and handed over a three-digit amount to the perpetrators before they were arrested by the police shortly thereafter.

Police in Carinthia had already received several tips

The police in the district of Spittal an der Drau had already received several tips about two men who were stopping drivers and asking for money. This was followed by a report from a woman in Möllbrücke, who stated that she had handed over a three-digit amount to the suspects at an ATM without receiving the promised immediate refund. The police were able to arrest the men, aged 21 and 23 and Romanian citizens, shortly thereafter and took them to the police detention center in Villach. They were initially reported at large, but they face deportation.
