A French family whose home an armed fake courier targeted in April faced a second suspected crypto-related attack nearly six months later, when three men allegedly climbed the property's fence at about 5am on Tuesday.
The men reportedly wore hoods and were armed. They fled after they triggered a perimeter alarm before they could enter the house in Saint-Jean-de-Védas, west of Montpellier, according to Midi Libre and Cryptoast. Gendarmes later arrested three suspects, aged 19, 30 and 38, who were travelling in a car reported to have been stolen in Marseille. Authorities handed the investigation to the research brigade in Castelnau-le-Lez, a unit of the French gendarmerie.
