Warsaw police detain two Ukrainians who defrauded women of over 55,000 zloty

Detention of suspects in Warsaw

Officers from the economic crime unit of the Luków police department documented a case of fraud committed by two 20-year-old Ukrainian citizens. Police detained both suspects in the territory of the Polish capital.

One of the young men was intercepted near an ATM. During a search, several mobile phones and bank cards were found on him. The second suspect, realising the threat of arrest, attempted to flee from law enforcement officers, but failed to avoid detention.

The scheme for extracting funds

The perpetrators impersonated representatives of a banking institution, acting as employees or consultants. It was thanks to this role that they managed to defraud two female victims of significant sums of money.

The total amount of damages exceeded 55,000 zloty. Specifically, a 26-year-old woman lost over 35,000 zloty, while the other victim lost over 20,000 zloty.

Punishment for the offence

The suspects are charged with fraud. If their guilt is proven, each of them faces a punishment of up to eight years in prison.
