Police Air Clear CCTV of Suspects in Maarssen Scam and Capelle Cases

Investigators ask viewers for tips through regional TV appeals.

Overview

  • Regional police aired new footage on the search shows Bureau Hengeveld and Bureau Rijnmond and warned residents about a bank-impersonation trick.
  • In Maarssen, an elderly couple aged 80 and 81 lost about €9,900 after a caller posed as a bank employee and had their bank cards and PINs collected.
  • The Maarssen suspect was caught on cameras in the couple’s building and at ATMs in Maarssen and Amsterdam, and police say he looks about 20 with shaved-up black hair and a moustache.
  • In Capelle aan den IJssel, a burglar emptied two children’s piggy banks, took the mother’s savings and a gold ring, and was recorded on clear video, with tips requested at 0800-6070 or anonymously at 0800-7000.
  • In a separate Capelle case, a couple aged 71 and 72 gave cards, PINs and €3,000 to a fake bank courier, and police are now showing the suspect’s face after earlier blurred images led to no arrest.
