“Money, money!” – two young robbers attacked foreigners in Budapest
Change language:
That, of course, does not mean that Budapest is not safe for travellers or tourists. But it happened that two weeks ago, two young Hungarians tried to get into apartments left open, during which they attacked a foreign woman in the heart of the Hungarian capital. Below you can read the details.
Apartments left open
According to 24.hu, two young Hungarian citizens tried to steal from apartments rented by foreign individuals in Budapest. The residents made them leave, but they tried to return violently. The Budapest police department told the media outlet that the crime happened two weeks ago. First, a tenant managed to drive the young robbers away and locked his door. The muggers tried to push it back, but they were not successful.
However, the apartment next door was also left open, so they went inside.
A foreign woman living there was shocked but managed to drive the robbers away. But the muggers were more persistent and went inside again after pushing back the door.

They shouted “Money, money!” and the terrified woman left her apartment. The perpetrators collected her laptop, tablet and cell phone worth 1 million HUF (EUR 2,500). The woman went after them and managed to get back her computer, but the younger boy slapped her. She asked helped from the neighbours, who immediately warned the police of Ferencváros (Budapest 9th district). The officers caught the perpetrators not far from the crime scene.
