Crimestoppers offers £10,000 reward after Solihull crypto raid

Crimestoppers has offered a reward of up to £10,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for a 2025 home invasion in Smiths Wood, Solihull, during which a couple were forced to transfer cryptocurrency. The charity announced the offer on September 24, 2026, and said eligible information must be given directly to Crimestoppers rather than police. Police said three masked intruders entered the couple’s home at about 5:20 p.m. on December 13, 2025, while a fourth person allegedly directed them by video call. The husband was assaulted and suffered significant injuries, and his pregnant wife was threatened with a knife. The couple were compelled to transfer cryptocurrency, and high-value watches were also taken, according to the reports. The amount of cryptocurrency taken has not been specified in the supplied information, and the reports do not establish whether any assets were recovered. The attackers’ identities and the outcome of the investigation also remain unknown. Crimestoppers said one suspect was described as a Black man with a small diagonal scar beneath his left eyebrow.
