Some suspected robbers have attempted to break into a house in Barcelona, Spain, disguising as doctors searching for coronavirus patients.
Metro News reports that the suspect, two women and a man, dressed in white coats rung a bell in a bid to gain entrance to the house, pretending they were carrying out medical checks for the disease.
The resident quickly called the police after suspecting that they were not real doctors but were said to have escaped before the police arrived.
Catalan police have cautioned people, especially pensioners and the aged, to be wary of thieves trying to take undue advantage of the viral outbreak.
