A lightning robbery in a temple of French luxury manufacturing. The facts, spectacular, took place in the night from Wednesday to Thursday in a workshop that manufactures leather goods for the Louis Vuitton house in Monthou-sur-Cher (Loir-et-Cher) we learned from concordant sources . The damage is still under investigation, but "the workshop has been completely emptied," blows a source close to the investigation. These are bags that can be sold for several thousand euros. "
Shortly after 3 a.m., three criminals equipped with a firearm broke into the factory site. Hooded, they point a guard present at night who is attacked and held in cheek by one of the three robbers. Meanwhile, his two accomplices spin into the workshop where they seize the brand bags, some of which were still being made. "At least ten bags were thus stolen," said a source close to the investigation. Parts used to design leather goods are also taken away by men "well organized and who knew what they were looking for".
Before leaving, the three men take care to sprinkle the entire workshop with fire extinguisher powder so as not to leave traces. They then flee aboard a vehicle which will be found charred a few kilometers north of Blois (Loir-et-Cher) by the gendarmes shortly after 5 am. Inside, the investigators got hold of branded clasps, probably forgotten by the robbers. An investigation was opened by local gendarmes supported by the Orleans research section. According to our information, an attempted burglary had already taken place in the same manufacturing workshop on January 17.
