A Franco-Canadian couple was the victim of a spectacular flight aboard a TGV on Sunday, July 27, according to BFMTV. While they were traveling in first class between Aix-en-Provence and Paris, their luxury jewelry-a rolex, a Cartier bracelet, a Beers pendant, necklaces and rings set with diamonds-were stolen for a loot estimated at 350,000 euros.
The thieves, a man and a woman, settled discreetly behind them before stealing a Louis Vuitton bag placed under a seat. The duo left the train during a stop in Avignon, letting the victim discover the disappearance of his setting too late.
