In Paris, a robbery took place in the Bulgari store on Place Vendôme (1st arrondissement), BFMTV learned from a police source, confirming information fromNews17. The three criminals managed to flee on two motorcycles.
The three suspects were hooded and carrying long weapons. They stole jewelry. The damage, still being assessed, is estimated at several million euros, according to several sources. A flagrance investigation was opened by the leader of armed robbery in an organized gang. The investigations were entrusted to the Banditry Repression Brigade.
A security guard was injured in the head with a rifle butt and was taken care of by the emergency services. On videos posted on social networks that seem to correspond to the robbery, we see two imposing black motorcycles parked on the sidewalk, in front of the jewelry store. A helmeted, armed man dressed in black keeps watch.
In a press release, Bulgari announced that it was filing a complaint and setting up a support system.
