Masked men broke into a Solihull home and beat a businessman with hammers until he transferred hundreds of thousands of pounds in cryptocurrency, threatening to kill his pregnant wife and unborn child. The 45-minute December attack, directed via a live video call, is part of a surge in violent "wrench attacks" on crypto holders. Police are investigating; Crimestoppers offers a £10,000 reward.
