Fake Police Storm Ivry‑sur‑Seine Home During Video Call; Manhunt Underway

Investigators say new digital evidence is guiding the search.

Overview

  • Three men wearing police armbands entered the couple’s apartment, tied and assaulted them, and demanded money at gunpoint.
  • Colleagues on the live videoconference alerted police and captured roughly 23 to 30 minutes of audio that was later provided to investigators.
  • The intruders fled with about €500 in cash, two mobile phones, jewelry, and Louis Vuitton items after locking the victims inside.
  • Police recovered a walkie‑talkie at the scene, and an assailant allegedly recorded part of the attack on Snapchat, suggesting possible outside coordination.
  • The Créteil prosecutor opened an inquiry now handled by the Val‑de‑Marne SDPJ’s criminal brigade, the male victim was treated at Kremlin‑Bicêtre hospital without life‑threatening injuries, and the three suspects remain at large with descriptions circulated by police.
