Photos released in unsolved paint splash burglary

The police have released photos of a violent home robbery that occurred on Thursday, October 2nd, 2014. They hope that the released photographs will lead to a breakthrough in the case. A woman was attacked by two men in her home on Merwedestraat in Eindhoven at about 15:00 on Thursday October 2nd. The men called first, but the woman told them that she was too busy to opened as she is painting the kitchen. The woman saw the men climb over the fence and was too late to lock the door. The woman resisted, but could not overpower the two men. She was assaulted and forced to give up her money. During the struggle the bucket of white paint got knocked over and paint splashed everywhere. It is virtually certain that the two perpetrators were covered with paint when they left the woman's house. In Griftlaan of Waalstraat the perpetrators got into a dark, older car, possibly an old Volkswagen Passat, and drove towards the industrial estate. The first perpetrator is a dark skinned man of around 30 years old. He is about 1,75 m tall, has a slender built with black hair. He wore a dark colored tracksuit with yellow striping. The second perpetrator is a white man of around 30 years old. He is about 1.8 m tall and is balding, he only has a little light brown hair on the side of his head. He spoke dutch and wore a cap and black and gray backpack. The police are investigating a possible link between this robbery and a jewelry store robbery in Belgium to weeks later. https://www.youtube.com/v/NcgDceRWRAA?rel=0 https://www.youtube.com/v/FjFhN-KKsWI?rel=0
