In Thames Valley one cold stormy night a mans house gets broken into to steal one huge valuable asset. No not a mega yacht, but the popular virtual currency Bitcoin. The man is held at gunpoint to transfer the cryptocurrency. While we do not know how much money the man lost, we do know that this was probably “a targeted incident”. The local police are actively searching for more witnesses and evidence of the perpetrators, to be able to identify the Bitcoin mystery men. The local police force wanted to let the public know that the current investigations is still very young and not much is known.

OMG this could be a real threat. People are carrying almost all there wealth with them in their Mobile phone.

If you are that naive to think everybody carries their BTC on their phones, or if you think that it's only kept on mobile phones. Maybe you have to do a little bit more research.

There is ways in which you could protect yourself to make sure this never happened. Some people are just plain dumb.

I think it was a setup made by himself haha. they had to know what guy is dealing in as they had to prepare the wallets. they had to know how many wallets he has and what are their addresses etc etc

Not really, they just need a recieving address and a gun.
