Just a week after the Marc Jacob’s Spring 2012 collection was stolen during its transfer from Paris to London, the Wall Street Journal reports that 300,000 euros [$400, 760 at current exchange] of Louis Vuitton goods were stolen from the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. WWD reports that five masked individuals neutralized four employees and a security guard and took off with ten pallets of Louis Vuitton merchandise. Officials at Louis Vuitton declined to comment, however, French police are currently investigating the theft. According to WWD no further details are currently available.
Its not strange for one to wonder whether these two instances of major luxury theft within the span of one week, within close geographical location are a matter of coincidence or not. Regardless of whether these crimes were done by the same group of individuals, lets hope that enforcement officials can find some answers before other brands become the victims of such crimes.
