A teen was arrested in Goirle after a phone scam involving a fake police agent led to the attempted pickup of valuables at a home. The incident began on 8 September, when a woman was contacted by phone. The caller first posed as a bank employee, then later claimed to be a police officer. The scammer told the woman that suspicious transactions had been found on her account. The caller said there had been burglaries nearby and instructed her to have money and valuables ready so they could be secured. The woman did not trust the story and called in a family member. The family member went to the home before the valuables were to be collected. Later, a teen from Tilburg arrived to collect the valuables. The family member held the teen until police arrived. Officers then arrested the teen. Police urged people again to be alert to fake agents. They stressed that officers do not come to the door to collect money, bank cards, PIN codes, or jewellery. The time of the incident was not stated.
