A French couple was coerced into transferring approximately $1 million in Bitcoin during a home invasion by criminals impersonating police officers. The incident occurred in Le Chesnay-Rocquencourt, west of Paris, where three suspects threatened the couple with a knife, forcing the husband to transfer the cryptocurrency. The attackers then tied up the man, injured both victims, and fled the scene in a white van. The case is under investigation by the Brigade for the Repression of Banditry, focusing on charges of sequestration, armed robbery by an organized gang, and criminal conspiracy. This attack is part of a rising trend of "wrench attacks" in France, where criminals use violence to extort digital assets. In 2025, France reported 19 such incidents, the highest in Europe, as wrench attacks globally increased by 75% to 72 verified cases.
