The scenario of the sequelOcean’s Eleven ? No, reality. On the night of Wednesday August 24 to Thursday August 25, 2022, several men broke into the apartment of actor Vincent Cassel, located in the Ménilmontant district, in the 20th arrondissement of Paris. And this isn’t the first time his apartment has been visited. It had already been robbed in 2009, while the closing ceremony of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival was taking place… This time, thanks to surveillance images, the police were able to understand the procedure of the four men who illegally entered this accommodation – a fifth stood watch in the street.
Thanks to Parisian, we learn that it was an organized gang, from the Amandiers district, who had premeditated this burglary. With their faces covered, the thugs climbed onto the roof next door before breaking the glass roof of Vincent Cassel’s apartment, in order to create a front door. They caused a total of €20,000 in damage and stole two computers, two tablets, an iPhone and a bank card. It was a neighbor who alerted the police while this scam was in progress. No doubt he had been alerted by the noise. After his call, three of the five mobsters immediately found themselves in custody.

I’m sorry for Vincent Cassel whom I like. But for me, it was above all a beautiful house. I can’t tell you who had the idea to rob it because I risk reprisals.“He is, for the time being, the only one to have admitted his fault. One of his accomplices, 18, was nevertheless sentenced to 8 months in prison, 4 of which are closed, equipped with an electronic bracelet…
