Six Suspects Apprehended Following €12 Million Armed Raid on Precious Metals Facility in the French Republic
A team of six suspects carrying military-grade weapons detonated charges to breach the security of a gold treatment facility located in the city of Lyon, causing light wounds to five employees during what appears to be the latest high-profile broad daylight robbery to affect the nation.
The audacious robbery was carried out on Thursday late morning, with police forces quickly arresting the alleged criminals and recovering the stolen goods estimated to be worth €12M (£10.5 million), according to officials.
Five staff members of Laboratoires Pourquery were slightly hurt due to the explosion, and three of them were transported to hospital for assessment, according to regional authorities. Twenty-eight workers were present on-site when the perpetrators raided.
The suspects, considered experienced criminals, were detained shortly after the incident in the adjacent municipality of Vénissieux, France, authorities revealed.
A female participant who took part in the heist was likewise arrested, officers confirmed.
“Six suspects who utilized explosives in an attack on a precious metals company in the Lyon area were apprehended red-handed,” the nation's interior minister announced via X, commending law enforcement for their “firmness, rapid response and command”.
Assault rifles, handguns and explosives were likewise seized.
The heist took place as law enforcement in France on the same day arrested five more suspects, including a primary suspect, in relation to the bold theft at the Louvre.
Dozens of investigators have been pursuing four robbers who employed a truck equipped with a moving lift and cutting equipment to break into an upper-level exhibition space at the museum on 19 October, escaping with jewelry valued at approximately €88M.
In a separate high-profile case, burglars recently forced their way into the French capital's Natural History Museum, taking gold specimens worth over $1 million. A young Chinese female was taken into custody recently in Barcelona, Spain in connection with the break-in, according to legal authorities.
This series of robberies has raised concerns in France regarding lax security at museums and various establishments containing precious artifacts.
