Overview
- Masked intruders forced their way into Prost’s Nyon home and compelled a family member to open a safe, leaving the 71-year-old with a minor head wound.
- Swiss cantonal police and the Vaud prosecutor opened a criminal investigation and mounted a wide search after the Tuesday morning incident.
- Investigators say the thieves likely sought high-end watches and suspect the group crossed into France, prompting requests for French police assistance.
- No suspects have been arrested so far and authorities provided psychological support while the Prost family reportedly left the house temporarily.
- The case fits a recent pattern in the Lake Geneva area of organized, transnational break-ins that targeted at least 18 wealthy homes in 2025 and focus on prestige watch collections.
