Police Probe Possible Serial Link After Violent Home Invasion at Willi Weber’s Stuttgart Villa

The intruders slipped in during the evening through a briefly open terrace door and bound Weber, his wife and a housekeeper before fleeing.

Overview

  • Police say three masked men entered between 7:00 p.m. and 8:50 p.m., threatened the occupants with weapons and tied them to chairs.
  • Weber says he was punched until he revealed safe codes; investigators report cash, jewelry and watches stolen worth several hundred thousand euros, while Weber estimates about one million.
  • The 83-year-old suffered a black eye but was treated at home, and the two women had minor injuries; private security now guards the property.
  • Detectives are checking for links to a similar September villa robbery in Stuttgart; no arrests have been announced and the trio remains at large.
  • Descriptions include dark clothing, one suspect with orange shoes and another with a noticeable belly; the villa had been publicly listed for sale, which investigators are considering as a possible lead.
