The police arrested three men who allegedly tried to steal an armored vehicle, and the valuable items being transported at the time. Two of the three overpowered the driver and abused him on Tuesday morning and absconded with the vehicle. "He was threatened, severely beaten and left behind while his transport vehicle was taken," police said in a statement. "The 46-year-old victim was taken to hospital for treatment of his injuries." The incident happened just before 10 a.m. on Almstein in Rotterdam-Zuid. The police soon tracked down the stolen vehicle in the Waalhaven.
