22 January, 2018. Armed men broke into the family home of a cryptocurrency trader and are believed to have forced him at gunpoint to transfer holdings of the virtual currency bitcoin.
Thames Valley police said they were seeking witnesses who may have
seen the four raiders who broke into the house in the picturesque
Oxfordshire village of Moulsford, and threatened the trader and his
partner. But they would not confirm local reports that the target of
the raiders was not physical property but the man’s stock of the
cryptocurrency.
Police said nobody had been seriously hurt in what they described as “a targeted incident”. They were called to the house off Reading Road at about 9.40am on 22 January and officers later visited a nearby school as a precaution.
Police said the investigation was in its early stages and warned local residents to expect an increased police presence.
