A home robbery in Solihull involves men who assault a man and threaten to kill his pregnant wife’s unborn baby while forcing him to transfer large sums of cryptocurrency, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The victim is beaten with hammers and, during the attack, transfers hundreds of thousands of pounds in virtual currency.
The BBC describes the episode as horrific and says the attackers demand the cryptocurrency transfer while making explicit threats about the unborn child. The Daily Mail adds further detail about the incident, reporting that it occurred on 13 December 2025 and that the husband is also assaulted. It also says the wife fears she is going into labour during the raid.
Across the sources, the core facts are consistent: a violent assault occurs during a targeted crypto theft, and threats related to the unborn child are made to pressure the victim into complying. Differences mainly concern the amount of additional circumstance and scene detail rather than the central account of the robbery and threats.
