The parents had saved this money to buy an apartment.
A 42‑year-old resident of Minsk contacted the police with a statement about the disappearance of family money totaling about $200 thousand from the apartment. The man suspected a plumber, who was allegedly let into the house by his 10‑year-old son, however, the fourth-grader himself took the money out.
The scheme was standard. Scammers called the boy. First, under the guise of replacing the intercom, they convinced him to provide a code from an SMS, and then a supposed police officer contacted him via video call. He stated that his parents were facing criminal liability for fraud and demanded that all cash be declared.
Knowing where the money for the apartment was kept, the child, in two stages, took from the house $160 thousand, 30 thousand euros, and 30 thousand rubles.
Following the criminals' instructions, the boy left the banknotes in bushes near the house, after which he was told not to return home for as long as possible and to tell no one.
The courier who picked up the money was detained by the police, but he had already sent the money abroad.
The police report that the schoolboy had previously attended police prevention lectures and discussed scam schemes with his parents, but became confused under psychological pressure from the curators.
