The two criminals then fled. The Paris prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation into the charge of “theft with a weapon and an organized gang”. The investigations were entrusted to the Brigade for the repression of banditry (BRB), said the Paris prosecutor’s office.
This robbery comes three days after the one committed in a Chaumet jewelry store near the Champs-Elysées. Two people were arrested following this one, in Moselle.
