Russia (bbabo.net) - A 20-year-old resident of Kurgan was sentenced to real life for deceiving the elderly: according to the regional prosecutor's office, he pretended to be an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and sold them smoke detectors at exorbitant prices.

Law enforcement agencies found that a young man, under the pretext of checking fire safety, entered the apartments of pensioners and deceived them, saying that they would face a fine due to the lack of detectors.

If the old people believed, he offered to buy a sensor from him for 30,000 rubles, despite the fact that its real cost is only 500 rubles.

In one of the cases, the swindler did not limit himself to selling unnecessary equipment, but also profited from the property of the buyer: allegedly, in order to check the water filters, he stole 35,000 rubles from his grandmother from a shelf in the closet ..

The young man was found guilty under articles of fraud and theft, and sentenced to three years in a penal colony.
