Man arrested in Castellón for taking advantage of neighbour with dementia and stealing €5,600 from her
Google News ES — Crime (es) reports the detention of a man in Castellón accused of defrauding his neighbour, a woman who suffers from dementia, for a total amount of €5,600.
The detainee reportedly took advantage of the victim's vulnerability, his own neighbour, to steal the money from her. The authorities proceeded with his arrest once the facts became known, although no further details have been provided about the exact circumstances of the theft or about the identity of the accused.
Dementia is a disease that affects memory and cognitive abilities, leaving those who suffer from it in a situation of particular vulnerability to potential abuse. Cases of fraud against elderly people with cognitive deterioration are pursued with special attention by Spanish security forces.
