€3 Million in Gold and Art Stolen in Tarn-et-Garonne Heist

A burned van found near the theft site complicates the investigation as authorities assess potential additional losses.

A van containing gold bars, art pieces, and furniture worth €3 million was stolen from a transport company in Verdun-sur-Garonne on the night of March 30, 2025.
The van was later discovered burned a few kilometers from the theft site, raising concerns about further damage to the stolen items.
The stolen goods included bronzes, gold coins, and art pieces belonging to various owners across France.
An investigation led by the Toulouse gendarmerie research section is underway, with technicians examining the theft and fire scenes for evidence.
Authorities are still determining the full extent of the loss, as some art pieces may have been destroyed in the fire.
