HEARTLESS FRAUDSTERS
A TORREVIEJA couple who left an 83-year-old disabled woman with just 28 euros in her bank account, as well skipping rental payments on a property, have been arrested by the Guardia Civil. A 43-year-old Spaniard and a 42-year-old Polish woman were detained, after the Guardia discovered that defrauding their landlord was only the tip of the iceberg. The property owner filed a complaint after the couple had quit her rental home, owing several months of rent.

She also brought in a number of items that they had left behind, including a bank book that did not match their name, but that of an 83-yearold woman. The only person that had easy access to the lady´s house was the Polish woman, who was employed as a carer and cleaner. She and her partner took the bank book and used it themselves, with the elderly lady not noticing that it
was missing, as due to her disability, she rarely left her home. Guardia officers took her to the bank, where she discovered that she only had 28 euros left in her account, with a total of 12-and-a-half thousand euros being stolen, and her utilities like water and electricity about to be cut off for non-payment. The Guardia stepped in to make sure that her services continued as normal by contacting the supply companies.
The Polish caregiver admitted to making withdrawals from the bank book on a regular basis since June 2018, with the account getting a monthly pension of 656 euros, which was the woman´s sole income. The uncaring duo have been charged with theft and bank fraud, whilst the Spaniard was also charged with breaking a restraining order. Both were granted bail after appearing before a Torrevieja judge.
