ChainCatcher reports, according to DL News, that a 40-year-old crypto industry practitioner in Saint-Jean-de-Védas near Montpellier, France, encountered an attempted armed robbery at home.
The suspect disguised as a courier entered the home and demanded the victim hand over the private key to their crypto wallet; the victim took advantage of a distraction to overpower the suspect and seize the handgun. A gunshot was fired at the scene, but no one was injured. The suspect then fled, but was arrested by police after a three-day manhunt. The local court has charged the suspect with attempted armed robbery, and prosecutors said the suspect may have been acting under orders from someone behind the scenes.
