Police arrested 3 men in Stein, Saturday, on suspicion of robbing an 84-year-old café owner from Genhout in Beek, on the night of Sunday, November 24 to Monday, November 25, 2013.

The robbers only left with a small amount of cash after searching the place.

The men were arrested on the street and are detained.
