In Ermesinde, a 71-year-old woman was robbed of a safe containing cash and gold jewelry valued at over 50,000 euros. The suspect, described as a woman approximately 50 years old, reportedly built a relationship of trust with the victim after meeting her on a bus and offering to assist with domestic chores.

Following the victim's refusal to grant further monetary loans, the family discovered the valuables were missing.

The Public Ministry is currently investigating the theft.
