The perpetrator gained entry to the home through a distraction technique, after which the victim was forced at gunpoint to open the safe.
During the investigation, detectives identified a 15-year-old suspect linked to several similar distraction scams. On Tuesday, December 2, it became clear that this suspect had also been active in Leeuwarden, where a similar scam had occurred. Later that day, the 15-year-old suspect from Amsterdam and a 21-year-old co-suspect from Amsterdam were arrested. The minor suspect remains in custody and will be brought before the juvenile court.
