Police are on the hunt for the woman
Police are on the hunt for a mystery woman believed to be behind a string of credit card thefts, with the suspect reportedly racking up a six-figure sum of stolen dough.
As part of the search, German cops have released pictures of a blonde woman who they believe is the mastermind behind the spree, with the snap showing the suspect looking back straight into the CCTV camera that is capturing her.
According to police, the woman is believed to have obtained several cards through illicit means, and used them to withdraw at least £100,000 in cash between April 6 and May 16, 2026, at several banks in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany.
The woman is believed to have made around 17 withdrawals during this period.
Neither the precise sum nor how the woman obtained the cards has been clarified by officials, although the German authorities are appealing for any information related to the woman in the photo.
According to police: “The previously unidentified woman is suspected of having illicitly obtained numerous credit cards and using them to withdraw a six-figure sum of cash at the Raiffeisenbank Fehrbellin branch on Berliner Straße, and on April 19, 20, 2026, and May 16, 2026, at a different Raiffeisenbank branch on Karl-Marx-Straße.
“All cash withdrawals were made by the same woman.
“Witnesses who recognize the woman or can provide information about her whereabouts to contact the police inspector on the police tip portal on the internet”.
Berlin police have been known for similar strategies before.
In March this year, CCTV allegedly showing a glamorous woman in a petrol station who they accused of luring a teenager to an apartment where he was violently assaulted and robbed.
CCTV stills released by Berlin police show the woman with straight, bleach-blonde hair and a large cream coat as well as a small brown hand-bag.
It is unknown exactly what the woman’s alleged involvement is. According to a report by German news outlet BILD, she spoke to the 18-year-old via the social media site Snapchat before he was allegedly tricked into going to an apartment where he was brutally attacked by five people.
The teen was then allegedly beaten, sprayed with an unidentified liquid, and robbed. The attack also left him unconscious, according to local reports.
