Robbers firmly tied two brothers and a security man before making away with two generators and two air conditioners on Friday at the brothers’ Newtown Aéroport residence.

According to the victims, the robbers who pretended to be customers called the house to buy a generator.Since their elder brother, a businessman, had traveled to Europe one month ago and put them in control of the business, they received the “customers” and did not reach an agreement on the price.

The so-called customers, after studying the environment, came the next day, held the night watchman hostage and forced him to knock the main door for them to make their way inside the house. As they entered the house, they tied the hands and legs of the two brothers and the night watchman tightly, laid them on the veranda and took two generators and two air conditioners.

Since the victims could not shout for help, they spent the night trying to free each other until Saturday morning that a mechanic their elder brother called on phone to change the gearbox of his car, arrived to do his job. He decided to go in directly since the security man was not at his duty post. Surprisingly, he found the three men tied and immediately yelled for help.

The mechanic then went straight to the kitchen, brought a very sharp knife and cut off the ropes. The robbers did not care to search the house for money or other valuables and did not as well injure the tied men.
