Six Arrested in Attempted Kidnapping of YouTuber Inoxtag at Wrong Address

The suspects allegedly targeted the former home of the influencer's parents, mistaking it for his current residence in a plot to demand ransom.

  • Six individuals, aged 22 to 33, are in custody for their suspected involvement in an attempted kidnapping targeting YouTuber Inoxtag in November 2024.
  • The suspects mistakenly broke into the former home of Inoxtag's parents in Orgeval, Yvelines, which had been sold years earlier, and attacked the current residents.
  • Investigators believe the group planned to abduct Inoxtag or his father to demand a ransom, but fled after a confrontation with the occupants, leaving behind a fake firearm.
  • Authorities identified the suspects through DNA evidence and encrypted messaging activity, linking them to a group with prior criminal records for drug trafficking and violent crimes.
  • The YouTuber, who has nearly 9 million subscribers, has since increased his security and expressed support for the victims of the traumatic incident.
