The two suspects in a Holstebro fraud case were remanded in custody for four weeks, according to Anklagemyndigheden ved Midt- og Vestjyllands Politi. The detention ruling was not appealed, according to Danish Police.
Midt- og Vestjyllands Politi arrested a 30-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, both from North Jutland, on Wednesday. The arrests followed several reports of fake bank couriers over the past 14 days, police said.
The two are suspected of several frauds against elderly citizens. The fraud was carried out through ATM withdrawals and purchases in physical shops, with a total value of approx. 600,000 kroner.
Both were presented at a preliminary hearing at Retten i Holstebro at 14:00, where closed doors were requested.
