Beauty YouTuber NikkieTutorials has taken to social media to reveal that she and her fiancé Dylan Drossaers were robbed at gunpoint in their home in the Netherlands.
The influencer, otherwise known as Nikkie de Jager, made a statement overnight saying:
“earlier today one of my biggest nightmares became reality when we got robbed under gun point in our own home. physically we’re okay. mentally it’s a whole other story. I’m writing this message for now to let you know that we are “okay” and safe. Thank you for understanding as I take the next couple of days to myself.”

Local police say that they are investigating a robbery in which three alleged perpetrators threatened victims with a weapon – possibly a firearm – before fleeing the scene in a beige car. It is unclear exactly what was taken in the robbery.
One person reportedly suffered “superficial” injuries but it is not clear who.

Er is sprake van minimaal 3 daders die in een beige personenauto gevlucht zijn richting de A50. pic.twitter.com/9dhbXsaxr2
