  (flag legend: 'kidnappings' is the DETENTION flag — 1 when the victim was held against
   their will at any point, tied, locked in, held at gunpoint or taken away; it is NOT the
   same as the 'Kidnapping' scenario, which means taken away and held. See README, Definitions.)

The robbery took place around 5:20 PM. It is seen that Everts stands up and says to one of the robbers, "I don't have any Bitcoin at all." "I'm in the broadcast and someone is walking here with a...", he says afterward. The screen then goes black.

Gun

After a few minutes, Everts returns. "I was just talking to you, three young men came in, they removed all the cameras, they held a gun to my head and said, 'Bitcoin, Bitcoin'. And they were let in because they pretended to have a package."

Everts reports that they also threatened his children. "At one point, I got so angry that I said, shoot if you want to, and at one point, I was clearly not planning to cooperate.... then they ran away. We called 112 and the police are coming now."

Descriptions

The police have already spread the descriptions of the perpetrators via Burgernet. They are men aged 17 to 19, one of whom was wearing a DHL jacket. The three had face masks on. Anyone who sees them is asked to call 112.

Several police cars are now at the residence. Everts calls the robbery in the live stream too bizarre for words. "It's really frightening. I've heard before that robberies are committed because of Bitcoins, but it's really nonsense, as if you want to rob a bank account."

In the past year, more well-known Dutch people in the city have been robbed. Mayor Halsema called this concerning at the beginning of December during a meeting. She further stated that there is often a relationship with "displaying luxury goods on social media" and advised to be mindful of this. "Because people with ill intentions might find a motive in that."

A police spokesperson reports that the perpetrators of the robbery are no longer found in the area and that further investigation is ongoing. A report is also being filed.

Trendwatcher Vincent Everts tijdens livestream in eigen woning overvallen - AT5

Trendwatcher Vincent Everts is aan het begin van de avond het slachtoffer geworden van een gewapende overval. Dat gebeurde in zijn eigen woning in Nieuw-West, terwijl hij te zien was in een livestream over de coronacrisis met Maurice de Hond.

Vincent Everts tijdens een eerder interview

De overval vond rond 17.20 uur plaats. Te zien is dat Everts op staat en tegen een van de overvallers "ik heb helemaal geen Bitcoin" zegt. "Ik ben in de uitzending en er loopt hier iemand met een...", zegt hij daarna. Vervolgens gaat het beeld op zwart.

Na een aantal minuten komt Everts terug. "Ik zat gewoon met jullie te praten, drie jongens kwamen binnen, die trokken allemaal camera's weg, die hielden een pistool op mijn hoofd en zeiden, 'Bitcoin, Bitcoin'. En ze waren binnengelaten omdat ze net deden alsof ze een pakketje hadden."

Everts vertelt dat ze ook zijn kinderen hebben bedreigd. "Op een gegeven moment werd ik zo pissig dat ik zei, schiet maar als je dat wil, en op een gegeven moment, ik was duidelijk niet van plan om mee te werken.... toen zijn ze weggerend. We hebben 112 gebeld en de politie komt nu."

De politie heeft de signalementen van de daders inmiddels via Burgernet verspreid. Het gaat om mannen van 17 tot 19 jaar oud, waarvan één een DHL-jas droeg. De drie hadden mondkapjes op. Wie ze ziet, wordt gevraagd 112 te bellen.

Bij de woning staan inmiddels meerdere politiewagens. Everts noemt de overval in de livestream te bizar voor woorden. "Het is echt angstaanjagend. Ik heb wel eens vaker gehoord dat er overvallen worden gepleegd vanwege Bitcoins, maar het is echt onzin, net alsof je een bankrekening wil overvallen."

Het afgelopen jaar zijn er meer bekende Nederlanders in de stad overvallen. Burgemeester Halsema noemde dat begin december tijdens een vergadering zorgelijk. Ze zei verder dat er vaak een relatie bestaat met het "tentoonstellen van luxegoederen op social media" en gaf als advies om daarop te letten. "Omdat mensen die kwaad in de zin hebben daar misschien een motief in kunnen vinden."

Een woordvoerder van de politie laat weten dat de daders van de overval niet meer in de omgeving aangetroffen zijn en dat er nog onderzoek wordt gedaan. Ook wordt er nog aangifte gedaan.

Everts laat via Twiter weten 'nu ok' te zijn.

Even een bericht omdat ik tijdens een live uitzending Metn @mauricedehond met 2000 kijkers werd overvallen .

Wij zijn nu ok.

Er kwamen 3 jongens van 20 of jonger binnen waarvan 1 met DHL shirt die een pakketje stimuleerde af te geven.
