Authorities have initiated an investigation into multiple cases of alleged financial fraud following reports filed with local police agencies. Two separate incidents involving the systematic deception of elderly women have brought the matter to the attention of law enforcement in the Kaunas and Druskininkai regions. On Friday, a woman born in 1947 contacted the Druskininkai Department, reporting an incident that occurred on June 4th around 11 a.m.
She stated that unknown individuals approached her, speaking Lithuanian but exhibiting a noticeable Russian accent. These individuals falsely claimed to be bank employees and successfully misled her into withdrawing the sum of 17,500 euros. Separately, another woman, born in 1948, filed a complaint with the Kaunas County Police Department.
Her account detailed a prolonged period of deception spanning from early April through May 22nd. She reported being repeatedly contacted by an unknown person who spoke Russian.

In response to these reports, a preliminary fraud investigation has been launched by the authorities. The police have confirmed that efforts are underway to locate the suspects responsible for these incidents. Detectives are actively searching for the perpetrators in both the Kaunas and Druskininkai areas to apprehend those accused of financial misconduct.
