The Vilnius Regional Police Directorate reported multiple instances of alleged fraud occurring in the recent past. Authorities confirmed that preliminary investigations have been launched into two separate incidents involving financial deception. On June 22, a resident, whose birth year is 1952, reported being targeted by a woman speaking Russian.
The individual, who falsely claimed to be an employee of a telecommunications company, reportedly visited the victim’s home. During this encounter, the suspect allegedly obtained 700 euros and a bank card, which was subsequently used to withdraw 5,600 euros through multiple transactions. The total reported loss from this incident amounts to 8,300 euros.
A second incident was reported on June 27 by a woman born in 1947. On that same day, at approximately 7:00 p.m., the victim received calls from several unknown individuals. These callers impersonated tax inspectors and used deception to persuade her to hand over 5,000 euros.
The funds were reportedly given to an unknown person who later arrived at the residence. These reports highlight ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat sophisticated scams targeting residents in the Vilnius area. The police have confirmed that both cases are currently under preliminary investigation to ascertain the full scope of the alleged criminal activity.
