German tourist has robbed herself
The Beck Bay city police in Tobago has been knocked down in searches of the things “stolen” from German tourist. It has appeared that inventive traveller has robbed herself.
Monica Rauch declared in the police that she has been attacked by somebody with a knife and taken away a digital videocamera and player. Police officers accepted the application and sent the companies-insurers of German tourist a notice of theft.
Investigation of this case was stopped after Monica went through a customs control in the airport before she left for Germany. All “stolen” things were found in her baggage. She was accused of giving false testimonials and the court has sentenced swindler to payment of the fine of $750 or 5 months of heavy corrective works.
Let’s note that applications for imaginary robberies recently have ceased to be a rarity in Trinidad and Tobago. Foreign tourists try to receive from insurance companies «easy money» in this way. However the police department warns that the measure of punishment for false testimonials for foreign tourists can be toughened.
