The robbers, dressed in reflective vests and carrying a tool bag, appeared at a house in Edenwald at about 15:00 on February 22. They said they had been called in to fix the plumbing.

When the intruders were allowed inside, they pulled out a pistol and tied up the men 28 and 35 years old who were at that time at home. Then they started torturing them demanding money.

Over the next 15 hours, the criminals beat the men and even burned the back of one of them with a red-hot iron.

The next morning, at about 6:40 am, after both attackers fell asleep, the 28-year-old man managed to free himself. He ran out of the apartment and called the police.

The policemen who arrived at the scene did not find the attackers in the apartment. They fled, taking with them about $ 2000 and a mobile phone. The 35-year-old victim was not in the apartment either.

A 28-year-old man was taken to hospital with injuries and burns.

On February 24, police released CCTV footage of the suspects.
