French Couple Held Hostage by Fake Police Who Steal €900K in Bitcoin at Knifepoint

According to TF1 Info, early on a Monday morning in Le Chesnay, Yvelines, three individuals impersonating police officers held a French couple in their late fifties hostage in their home and forced them at knifepoint to transfer the equivalent of €900K in bitcoin. After the assailants fled in a white van around 9 a.m., the slightly injured woman managed to free her husband and seek help, while the Versailles prosecutor's office opened an investigation into kidnapping and armed robbery by an organized gang.
