And two! The Hermès store in Lille, in the historic center, was robbed with a ram car on Thursday at dawn, we learned from a police source, confirming information from The voice of the North. The facts took place around 5:30 a.m., using a Citroën Saxo, a week after a similar theft in the nearby Louis Vuitton store.
Clothing, jewelry and bags were stolen, but “some of the loot was left on the spot”, it was added. A second car remained on the spot and “a third vehicle” is on the run.
New studs on the sidewalk
This burglary takes place a week after a similar theft at the Louis Vuitton store in the city, located 100 m. Shortly before 6 a.m., a vehicle had crashed into the facade, allowing thieves to seize goods.
The same attack had already targeted this Louis Vuitton store in January, for damage then described as “considerable” by the prosecution. The city, which had, at the end of the first flight, had two additional studs placed on the sidewalk, will again add more, to create an impassable line, said Mayor Martine Aubry.
