Priscilla calls for help on social media. This Monday, the brother-in-law of this Verviétoise was threatened with stabbing by two men near the chip shop at the station, in Verviers, around 6 p.m.
Both armed, they stole his mobile phone, his keys, his scooter and his helmets. Fortunately, the young Verviétois was not injured.
Shocked by the situation, Priscilla launched an appeal on social networks in search of information: “My brother-in-law was threatened with a knife this Monday around 6 p.m. at the chip shop at Verviers station by people of foreign types. His Booster, his keys, his helmets, his mobile phone were stolen by these people. If you saw or heard anything, tell me. Please share en masse,” she wrote.
The young Verviétois went to file a complaint with the police on Monday evening. As for the surveillance images, the family draws a blank: “We will go to the chip shop and the town ourselves to see for the cameras, if they agree to show us the images. But according to the police, the cameras are not fixed and did not film the scene…”
