A man in Malmö pretended to be from home care services, stole a mobile phone and fled. The victim tracked the thief in real time using an app on a spare phone.
The incident occurred when the thief dressed as home care staff and pushed his way into Jan-Erik Jönsson's home. He stole a mobile phone but was later caught thanks to real-time tracking.
Jan-Erik Jönsson is now calling on the state and telecom companies to take action against crimes targeting the elderly. He describes how the thief stood on the porch wearing blue plastic gloves.
The tracking was done in real time with an app on an extra phone that the victim had access to.
