Two underage students from California, USA (16 and 17 years old), are charged with a serious crime for allegedly driving over 600 miles and disguising themselves as delivery personnel to break into a residence in Arizona, attempting to steal approximately $66 million in cryptocurrency assets. Police say the two entered the home, tied up and assaulted the adults inside to demand the crypto assets. They were quickly apprehended after fleeing the scene, where police found uniforms, zip ties, tape, and 3D-printed firearms. The suspects claimed they were recruited and coerced by an unknown individual using the alias “Red” and “8” on Signal. This case is considered the first publicly recorded “wrench attack” in the United States in 2026. (The Block)
