Police have responded to a possible elder fraud case at Teisen in Oslo, according to major media reports. A woman in her 80s had jewelry stolen after a person posing as a home helper came to her home. The visitor gave conflicting explanations for their presence: major media reports indicate the person said they were there to measure blood pressure, while other accounts claim they were there to appraise items.
Oslo police have received several reports about this today and are trying to determine if they can be seen in connection, with a total of four reports received. Nothing was stolen during the other visits, as far as the police know. No one has been arrested so far.
The identity of the perpetrator(s) and the total value of the stolen jewelry remain unknown. It is unclear whether the other three reports involve similar fraud attempts or different incidents. Police have not disclosed if there are any suspects or leads in the investigation.
The exact time and date of the incident have not been confirmed.
