A couple was brutally attacked and robbed in their single-family home in Düsseldorf-Wittlaer. They were threatened by a total of five men and money and valuables were stolen.
According to the police, the two seniors were in their An der Kalvey home when suddenly five men dressed in black and masked stood in front of them early on Thursday around 12:50 a.m. and pushed both of them into the living room. They had apparently forced entry through a window.
The men physically attacked the couple and threatened them with a baton and a knife. The perpetrators then searched the house for valuables and took turns assigning guards for the seniors.
When the search was over after about an hour, they locked the couple in a bathroom and fled in an unknown direction. The robbers stole high-quality watches, jewelry and cash. An immediate search has not been successful so far. The couple remained uninjured.
The men, all said to have been around 25 years old, are described as follows:
The man is about 1.60 meters tall, has a slight, gaunt build, and spoke broken German with an Arabic accent. He was wearing a long, dark gray rain jacket with a hood pulled over his head, dark trousers, dark shoes and black gloves. He wore a black cloth mask that covered his mouth and nose.
The man is around 1.75 meters tall, has a strong build, an olive-green complexion, strikingly round, curved, U-shaped eyebrows and shiny, clear skin as well as a pointed, long nose. He spoke Arabic and was wearing a black knitted hat, black gloves and a black, slightly transparent fabric mask that covered his mouth and nose.
This man is about 6 feet tall, has a strong, stocky build with what police call a “beer belly.” He spoke Arabic and was wearing a black, long-sleeved knit sweater, black tapered pants, a black cloth cap, blue gloves and a black cloth mask that covered his mouth and nose.
He is about 1.85 meters tall and spoke Arabic. He was dressed in dark clothing with black gloves, a black cloth cap and a black mask that covered his mouth and nose.
