The three men violently woke the owners from their sleep, tied them up and forced them to reveal the safe. The criminals stole jewelry and cash worth around €200,000, along with an iPhone.

According to ProTV, after the thieves left the house, the couple managed to free themselves and immediately alerted the police. Investigators reacted quickly, using the 'Find My Phone' app to locate the stolen smartphone. The device was located in Pantin, Seine-Saint-Denis, and a police team was sent to the scene.

Following police intervention, one of the thieves was arrested and found in possession of a bag belonging to the couple. However, the other two criminals managed to flee, leaving investigators searching for them.
