Overview
- Tournaire’s headquarters in Savigneux, which was rammed Thursday, was breached when a car reversed through reinforced doors.
- Inside the boutique, the trio smashed display cases with axes and grabbed dozens of jewels in a raid that lasted only minutes.
- As they fled, the attackers set the battering car on fire and escaped in a second vehicle, and the flames burned an employee’s car nearby.
- The company cites a provisional loss near €1 million, and a full inventory is underway to confirm the exact damage.
- Twenty-six employees were on site and unhurt, production is slated to restart next week, and police are analyzing extensive camera footage as experts note thieves favor such retail zones for fast access and use arson to wipe traces.
