Gang of robbers detained in three countries after stealing 6 million euros of gold

In France, police uncovered an armed robbery of a jewelry factory, from which criminals stole dozens of kilograms of gold and jewelry worth six million euros. The abductees were found and the alleged attackers were detained in several European countries. This is reported by AFP with reference to the Prosecutor’s office.

The robbery took place on November 3 at an enterprise in the city of Besançon. Armed criminals infiltrated the factory, beat at least one worker and seized dozens of kilograms of gold and precious metals.

Hiding after the attack, the attackers burned the car, which left the scene of the crime. However, the destruction of the car did not prevent the police to identify the alleged participants in the robbery.

The investigation went beyond France. With the assistance of Eurojust, law enforcement officers conducted detentions in Switzerland and Spain. As a result, 54 kilograms of stolen gold and precious products worth about six million euros were found.

Eight defendants were charged. They are charged with armed robbery, illegal operations with firearms and ammunition, kidnapping and illegal detention of people, as well as participation in a criminal conspiracy.

Seven of the accused were taken into custody. Another was released under judicial control.

Investigators have also established a possible link between several detainees and a similar crime committed in Besançon in 2025. Then armed raiders stole several kilograms of gold from the jewelry enterprise.
