Important money at the wealthy businessman Philippe Oddo, this weekend, in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine), this weekend.
One or more burglars seized, between Saturday and Sunday, loot estimated at 400,000 euros in the mansion of the 113th fortune of France.
It was noon on Sunday that the domestic workers realized the theft.
According to initial findings, the criminals forced a French window before slipping inside this mansion with an area of six hundred and fifty square meters.
The thieves searched the empty house of any occupant, before taking control of a safe built into the wall.
The piggy bank contained jewelry.
Branded watches and leather goods were also stolen.
The damage, which is still provisional, is estimated at around 400,000 euros.
Thieves disabled the alarm system
The premises were however equipped with a video surveillance system and an alarm.
The thugs, as well-informed professionals, have neutralized it.
Investigators from the Hauts-de-Seine departmental judicial police service are responsible for carrying out the investigations.
They will go through the area with a fine-toothed comb to find papillary or genetic fingerprints.
A neighborhood survey and the study of CCTV cameras may help find a clue that could lead to the thugs.
