Brutal attack at the Geisses' luxury villa near Saint-Tropez: four armed men forced their way into the house on Sunday night. Carmen and Robert Geiss were injured.
On Sunday night, Robert (61) and Carmen Geiss (60) were the victims of a brutal attack at their villa near Saint-Tropez.
Four armed men forced their way into the TV personalities' property. As Robert Geiss himself describes on Instagram, he and his wife were surprised and injured in their sleep.
"We were attacked in our own home in Saint-Tropez - by four armed idiots," said Geiss in a video he published on Sunday night.
The video shows emergency services entering the property. According to Robert, Carmen Geiss was choked and suffered a cut to her neck. He himself speaks of being kicked in the ribs: "I think I broke a rib."
Their two daughters Davina (22) and Shania (20) were apparently not present. Davina commented on Instagram: "The four men were completely armed, that's just gross."
According to Robert Geiss, there is video footage of the robbery from the surveillance cameras. They now want to analyze them to get clues about the perpetrators. His bitter conclusion: "Unfortunately, Saint-Tropez is not safe."
The police have not yet officially commented on the incident. It is currently unclear whether the perpetrators made any loot. The investigation is ongoing.
