The two men rang the doorbell of the elderly woman's house shortly before 11.00 a.m. and pretended to be workmen. Under a pretext, they persuaded the resident to grant them access, according to the press release.

The two fake tradesmen locked the senior citizen in a room and fled in an unknown direction with cash and jewelry. The pensioner was then able to free herself, according to the statement.
