Police arrested two Czech nationals near Slovakia's border after they defrauded an 82-year-old woman of thousands of euros and jewelry through a phone scam. The perpetrators convinced the elderly victim to hand over her savings and valuables by fabricating a story about her son being involved in an accident and needing immediate financial help. The arrests occurred as the suspects were attempting to leave Slovakia, highlighting a common cross-border criminal scheme targeting vulnerable elderly people with fake emergency scenarios involving their relatives.
