Overview
- Around 4:30–4:40 a.m. on Sept. 28, four masked intruders forced a window at a house on quai de l’Artois in Le Perreux-sur-Marne and tied and gagged the sleeping homeowner.
- The assailants threatened her with a hammer and a stone, demanded to know if a safe or gold was in the house, searched for about twenty minutes, and left with a few pieces of jewelry.
- The victim, identified by French media as Sophie B., freed herself after the attackers fled, called police, reported no physical injuries, and described being deeply shaken.
- The case has been assigned to the SAIP of Nogent-sur-Marne, with detectives analyzing CCTV and alarm data and checking possible links to similar recent home-jackings on the same street; no arrests have been announced.
- Police unions and local reports note a broader rise in home-jackings targeting valuables across Île-de-France, including a comparable incident in Meudon, with national cases climbing from 517 in 2020 to 550 in 2024.
