They have lived in Portugal for 38 years, but due to a brutal robbery they were victims of on Wednesday in Cascais, “next month” they will leave the country and return to England forever.
“We will not go back to Portugal,” he said this Thursday CM An 82-year-old woman who, along with her 81-year-old husband, both Englishmen, were pointed two pistols at by a trio of robbers who studied the robbery in detail and forced the woman to hand over money and jewelry.
“They climbed a tree next to the house and thus were able to get to the balcony on the first floor, and then with a crowbar they broke the door and entered,” the victim describes.
The couple were sleeping and the woman was woken up with threats “in English”, as shown by a study by thieves who knew full well that they were in front of the British couple.
The woman was forced to hand over all the money she had in her wallet (240 euros) and open the safe, where she had dollars and “cheap jewelry, especially rings.”
The old man “always lay in bed with a gun to his head.” The thieves stated several times that “they did not want to kill anyone, only money.”
