A British man has been forced to hand over Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) (BTC) at gunpoint in what is the first armed cryptocurrency theft in the country, say reports. Danny Aston, 30, called the police to his home in Moulsford, Oxfordshire, at 9:40 am GMT on Monday after four masked robbers forced entry.

The robbers reportedly demanded that Mr. Aston, an ex-financier-turned-Bitcoin (available on Coinbase)-trader, transfer an unknown amount of Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) to them before leaving the scene. No-one was injured in the event. Though the exact amount transferred has not been specified, it could be very large due to the nature of Mr. Aston’s work which involves his company: Aston Digital Currencies Ltd.
