Amanda Balk in Investigation Requested: ‘Where are your morals and ethics ?!’ | Entertainment

entertainment">“The morning was quiet. I had just woken up and was going to make a cup of coffee when the doorbell rang. There was a postman at the door with a package. Just in a mail delivery outfit. Then I said: just put it in front of the door. Then I’ll pick it up later ”, she says about the day in question in January. The images show that when Balk opens the door, two men break into her house.

entertainment">“He came running towards me and he kicked me. I flew all the way back. Then someone else came in and sat on top of me. I screamed. He kept trying to squeeze my throat. Only thing I thought: ‘My child is upstairs’. You are then no longer responsible for yourself. Some of the fears you have also fall away because of the anger you feel. That is your mother feeling. ”

entertainment">Her daughter, who was sleeping upstairs, was startled by the screams and immediately sat down in the closet. Eventually, Amanda managed to get into the closet with her daughter. The robbers then tried to close the door. “I’m claustrophobic, so kept my leg in the door. Then they kicked my leg hard. They were saying to me all the time, ‘Where are your jewelry? Do you have cash? ”.

entertainment">The broadcast also shows photos of the stolen jewelry. It concerns two rings, a diamond necklace and a watch from the Audemars Piguet brand. “Where are your boundaries, where is your upbringing, where are your morals and ethics? The moment you see a child and you are going to do this for stuff … That just really is not possible. I was really shocked by how far people go ”, Balk says with a sob in her voice.

entertainment">The suspects, a man of about 20 years old and a man between 20 and 25 years old, took off in a stolen gray Smart Forfour. The vehicle was found three days after the robbery, on January 10, in Amsterdam Noord. The car was on fire. Witnesses are being sought who saw the vehicle driving somewhere between 6 and 10 January. One suspect left the package he supposedly delivered in the back of the house. It is a cardboard box with a handwritten numerical code as inscription.
