Overview
- Police received an alert around 3:10 a.m. after intruders drove into the wholesale store using a car to force entry.
- Three black-clad suspects, at least one wielding an axe, ransacked the telephony section before fleeing.
- Several employees sheltered in a walk-in cold room, with three found by officers about an hour later cold and in shock.
- Surveillance footage shows the group arriving in a Renault Scénic and a second vehicle, with the Scénic recovered on site after being used as the battering car.
- Investigators traced the Scénic to a theft reported on Tuesday, November 4, as the Meaux prosecutor opens an inquiry and the losses are still being assessed.
