According to DL News, a 40-year-old man engaged in cryptocurrency-related business in Montpellier, France, was involved in a failed home invasion robbery on the early morning of April 11.

The suspect disguised himself as a delivery person, quickly put on a mask after opening the door, and threatened with a handgun, demanding the private keys to the crypto wallet, while controlling his family in the living room.
The suspect was distracted while talking to an accomplice on the phone, and the victim seized the opportunity to resist and snatch the gun, during which a shot was fired but no injuries occurred, and the suspect then fled.
After a three-day manhunt, police arrested a 25-year-old suspect and detained him on charges including attempted armed robbery; the case is still under investigation, and authorities do not rule out that he was instructed by others.
This year, France has reported over 40 cases of attempted robberies or kidnappings involving crypto assets, some of which are suspected to be remotely organized by individuals overseas.
