Wolt Courier Offers Condom Instead of Food in Prague: Police Investigating

A food delivery through Wolt service turned into a disturbing ordeal for a young woman in Prague. Instead of handing over her meal, the courier presented her with a condom and suggested they have sex.

The incident was reported on Tuesday, January 21, by CNN Prima News.

The victim recounted that the man spoke broken English with a pronounced Eastern accent.

โ€œHe tried repeatedly to enter my apartment, showing me a pack of condoms and insisting this was my โ€˜order.โ€™ He then pulled one condom out and displayed it in his hand,โ€ the woman explained.

Fortunately, she managed to push the courier outside and lock her door. However, the harassment continued as he called her phone multiple times afterward.

โ€œI contacted the police, and they informed me that I wasnโ€™t the only person to experience such behavior. They receive frequent complaints about couriers from companies like Wolt. Iโ€™m just relieved it ended without further escalation,โ€ she added.

Police spokesperson Eva Kropรกฤovรก confirmed that an investigation is underway but noted that no criminal charges have yet been filed.

Initially, Wolt ignored the womanโ€™s complaint, only addressing the situation after the media intervened.

โ€œWe have blocked the courierโ€™s profile in our system, contacted the client to apologize for this traumatic experience, and offered our support. We are also fully cooperating with the police investigation,โ€ the company stated.

Safety Advice for Clients

Experts emphasize the importance of meeting couriers outside apartment entrances rather than at the door. Women are advised not to allow strangers into their homes under any circumstancesโ€”such as requests to use the bathroom or take medicationโ€”and to address inappropriate behavior like vulgar remarks or suggestive jokes immediately.
