She reported that while at her home, she was deceived by individuals posing as police officers.
These individuals allegedly tricked her into surrendering 400 euros and a bank card, which was subsequently used to withdraw an additional 2,000 euros from her account, resulting in a total reported loss of 2,400 euros. Later that same day, another woman, born in 1943, also filed a report with the Vilnius County Police Department. She stated that around 2 p.m., while at her residence in Vilnius, a man claiming to be a police officer misled her into giving him 8,500 euros.
