An armed attack on a cash-in-transit vehicle injured a security worker in central Lyon on Thursday, 12 November. BFMTV reported that the attackers fled and that early information indicated they did not take the cash.
Citing a source close to the case, BFMTV said five heavily armed robbers targeted the vehicle at about 1:15 p.m. on Quai André Lassagne, along the Rhône near Lyon city hall. Several gunshots were heard, according to that source. One worker was injured but was not in life-threatening condition; another reached safety.
The reported lack of a haul does not lessen the immediate public consequence: a worker was injured in an armed attack in central Lyon and the alleged attackers were still at large in BFMTV's reporting. The investigation will need to establish the sequence of events and identify those who fled.
BFMTV's supplied reports do not identify the suspects or give a motive, escape route, final assessment of any loss, or a judicial classification of the case.
