Woman took $28,000 from daughter's and son-in-law's apartment and handed it over to scammers
A 28-year-old Minsk resident contacted the police, reporting that over $28,000 had disappeared from his apartment. It turned out that the mother-in-law allegedly took the money for "declaring" and handed it over to the scammers' courier.
Following instructions from scammers who operated under the "intercom replacement" scheme, the woman traveled from another city to the capital. Without the knowledge of her daughter and her husband, she entered their apartment, possessing a key.
Criminal investigation officers identified and detained the courier. He turned out to be a 23-year-old resident of the capital who himself became a victim of a similar scam scheme.
Following the criminals' instructions, he took out two loans totaling over 20,000 rubles, and then handed over both the loan funds and the money received from the woman to the scammers.
