One week to the day after the spectacular heist at the Chanel boutique on avenue Montaigne in Paris (8th arrondissement), a new car-ramming attack has just occurred in the beautiful neighborhoods. But this time, the shot missed. According to information from Actu17 that we are able to confirm, the Monogram boutique, specializing in luxury, was targeted this Monday at dawn on Avenue Victor-Hugo in the 16th arrondissement. But the thugs were surprised by a police vehicle which was passing by. They still managed to escape.
It is 4:40 a.m. this Monday when a crew patrols the 16th arrondissement. The sector is particularly sensitive at the moment. Less than two kilometers away, on Monday last week, a Jeep brand SUV exploded the front of the luxury brand Chanel. The thieves then stole loot estimated at between 6 and 10 million euros.
This time, this Monday, same procedure. The crew of civil servants watches live as the driver of the ram car reverses and rushes into the window. At the same time, he sees the officials. The thug, whose face is hidden, does not even try to understand. He rushes towards Avenue Foch, Porte Dauphine, the ring road, and manages to outrun the police.
For the moment, no one has been arrested as part of this investigation opened by the Paris prosecutor’s office and entrusted to the banditry suppression brigade. This is the same service which was already seized of the attack on the Chanel boutique. Is it the same team? “It’s quite possible,” says a police officer. But you have to be very careful. »
