[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] An incident occurred in France where a vehicle transporting luxury brand 'Louis Vuitton' bags was attacked.

On the 10th (local time), according to local media Le Parisien, French police arrested three suspects aged 27 to 32 on charges of attacking a trailer carrying luxury bags.

It is estimated that a total of 6 to 8 people were involved in the crime. Around 8 p.m. on the 8th, they surrounded the truck on the A15 highway passing through Val-d'Oise on the outskirts of Paris, threatened the driver with metal crowbars, and then locked the driver in a vehicle they brought. They attempted to set fire to the transport vehicle, detach the trailer, and escape.

Some members of the group were caught within 10 minutes while fleeing. The police later found the driver walking along the highway shoulder near exit 9, wearing only underwear, and recovered the trailer abandoned near exit 11. Fortunately, the trailer door was not open, and only one damaged box was found, so the damage was not significant.

Meanwhile, the police have begun investigating the exact motive for the crime and are reportedly pursuing the remaining fugitives.
