Kirchlinteln (dpa / lni) - Unknown perpetrators attacked, tied up and robbed a family in Kirchlinteln in the Verden district.

Late on Friday evening, the at least two masked perpetrators had ambushed a 72-year-old, his 15-year-old grandson and his friend of the same age, the police said on Saturday.

They pushed the three into the house and handcuffed them, as did the man's 71-year-old wife.

“With considerable use of force” they had forced the surrender of valuables before the perpetrators left the house after just under an hour and a half.

They managed to escape.

The victims were able to free themselves and call the police.

They received medical care.

A helicopter was also used for the search that night, but the perpetrators were not found.
