On Tuesday evening, the police showed a photo of the lawyer who was severely assaulted during a robbery at his home in Grave last Thursday. The man and his partner were tied up in their house for hours while the robbers made off with a heavy safe.
Both victims are in their seventies. The two perpetrators severely abused them and left them tied up while they fled, probably in a car.
The police are still busy with the investigation. She is looking for witnesses to the robbery of the house in the Scheerestraat in Grave. The two perpetrators were there between seven and nine in the morning, but it could well be that more people were involved in the robbery.
The perpetrators have a light complexion. They spoke to each other in an Eastern European language.
The two residents only managed to free themselves hours after the robbery. According to the neighbor behind, the man and woman came out ‘covered in blood’. The lawyer and the woman were taken care of by local residents. The man was then taken to hospital by ambulance.
