When she returned home, around 7am, she noticed that the front door of her apartment had been broken into and the premises searched.
Only a safe had been stolen. However, the latter contained the modest sum of 50,000 euros in cash.
A suspect
According to the Liège prosecutor’s office, the victim quickly directed the investigation towards a young man born in 1998, who had come to his apartment the previous Saturday. She did explain that this person had come to her home and asked many questions about the safe in question. A suspicion towards one of his acquaintances, which proved to be successful, because if it is not known for the time being whether the money has been found, the elements of the investigation seemed sufficient to arrest this suspect.
