(hd) On Thursday afternoon (13.03.2025), a 77-year-old woman from Herford went to a chemist's shop on Waltgeristraße in Herford at around 3:00 p.m. to do some shopping. After paying for her purchases at the checkout, she left the store and walked towards the parking lot. After a short time, she noticed that her handbag had been opened and her purse was missing. A short time later, it turned out that the unknown perpetrator or perpetrators had already withdrawn money from the victim's account immediately after the theft. They used the stolen EC card at a nearby ATM to do so. Criminal proceedings were initiated. The criminal investigation department is investigating. Information from witnesses can be obtained by calling 05221 / 888-0.
