This is not the first time that Benoît Magimel’s home has been the scene of such a theft. In June 2023, the actor had already been the victim of a burglar. At the time, luxury watches and designer handbags, for a loss of around 100,000 euros, had been stolen from his home.

A suspected perpetrator was quickly identified and arrested.
