A homeowner in the southern Athenian suburb of Alimos was robbed early on Tuesday morning, when a group of five people broke into his home through a balcony door.

The armed robbers threatened the homeowner and managed to immobilize him, after hitting him lightly in the head. After tying him and his two sons up, the thieves stole a sum of money and escaped in two vehicles.

The police has launched an investigation into the daring robbery.
