Swiping Over 40 Grand: City's High-Stakes Hunt for Credit Card Thief
Unmasking the villain who pilfered over 40,000 euros with pilfered bank cards in May, the city's law enforcement has launched a public crusade. The shady character managed to snatch credit cards and a confidential PIN list from an 82-year-old resident's Hamburg-Sasel dwelling, as disclosed by the police on a Tuesday briefing.
