Authorities in the Versailles area are searching for three suspects after a home invasion in which attackers allegedly posed as police and stole crypto.
The suspects allegedly gained entry by identifying themselves as police officers before pulling a knife and threatening to stab the woman unless her partner sent Bitcoin to a wallet they controlled, TF1 reported, citing sources close to the investigation.
The Versailles public prosecutor’s office has confirmed the crypto theft, according to local reporting, and said the case is being handled by France’s Brigade for the Repression of Banditry (BRB). No arrests had been announced at time of publication, with potential charges reportedly including kidnapping, armed robbery, organized crime, and criminal conspiracy.
