Nighttime Heist: 29-Year-Old Suspect Tried for Elderly Lady's Robbery
Overnight Assault Trial on Elderly Woman Commences - Senior citizen's nighttime burglary trial commences.
Heads turn as a trial unfolds for a daring nighttime burglary that happened over a year ago in Hamburg-Blankenese. The defendant, a 29-year-old male, is standing trial for allegedly breaking into an 88-year-old woman's house around 3:00 AM on February 29 last year, accompanied by an accomplice. According to the Hamburg Public Prosecutor's Office, he's charged with aggravated robbery and intentional infliction of bodily harm.
Bound and Helpless
The two robbers, reportedly, tied up the elderly lady, who was in bed, using household items like electrical cords and a bathrobe belt, before ransacking her single-family home for pricey belongings. Leaving with an estimated 2,500 euros, the pair abandoned their victim, still bound and unable to help herself. This additional charge is for neglect.
The elderly lady managed to free herself, despite her arthritis, but she sustained an injured thumb in the process.
The defendant was apprehended in Norway in mid-December and returned to Germany in March.
