Liora Lior Nativ Strasberg, 54, from Haifa, has been arrested on suspicion of exploiting senior citizens in the city, impersonating a public servant, and stealing their credit cards and property. The police are appealing to the public for assistance in locating additional victims.
The suspect's details have now been released for publication. Liora Lior Nativ Strasberg is suspected of committing offenses against elderly people in Haifa. She is accused of crimes involving the use of credit cards under aggravating circumstances, theft, and impersonating a public servant.
The investigation by the Haifa police station reveals a systematic and concerning modus operandi. According to the suspicion, the suspect carried out her schemes in two main ways. First, she targeted victims during shared trips and took advantage of their lack of attention to steal their credit cards.
In her second and more serious method, the suspect arrived directly at the homes of senior citizens, presenting a false pretense that she was providing medical services. While inside the homes, she exploited the trust placed in her to steal credit cards and valuable property.
The publication of the suspect's details, name, and photograph was authorized for the protection of the public and to locate additional victims, if any exist.
"Anyone who has been harmed by the suspect or knows of other victims who were harmed by her actions is requested to contact the Haifa police station at 04-8648811 or through the 100 emergency center of the Israel Police, and must mention investigation file number 325372/26," the police stated.
