In recent days, the Hauts-Pays police have recorded several incidents that occurred at a gas pump located in Dour. “The modus operandi is always the same,” police communicated. “Pretending that they do not have a bank card, the thugs ask motorists who have come to refuel to fill a jerrycan for a small amount, often €5, and reimburse them in cash. But when it comes time to pay, They flee.”
Last August in Dour, around seventy cars broke down after refueling.
Following several testimonies, the police have already intervened and suspects have been identified. However, a call for vigilance is launched because these individuals act in small bands and their hunting grounds can extend to other municipalities.
If you are a victim or witness of this type of scam, even if it involves small amounts, you are invited to contact the police office where the acts were committed.
In case of emergency, call 101.
