UK police, through Crimestoppers, are offering a £10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of perpetrators of a home invasion that occurred on December 13, 2025 in Smith’s Wood, Solihull, in the West Midlands. Three masked men broke into the home of a young father who was seriously injured and his pregnant wife who was threatened at knifepoint, forcing the couple to transfer crypto assets under duress. A fourth suspect was directing the robbery in real time via a video call. High-value watches were also stolen during this meticulously planned attack by individuals believed to be in their twenties. This type of incident, categorized as a « wrench attack » by crypto security researchers, illustrates the physical risks associated with self-custody of crypto assets.
