A flight worth several hundred thousand euros. In the 1st arrondissement of Lyon (Rhône), police intervened following a theft, with forced entry, of filming equipment stored in a film production truck.
The incident took place between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning, according to police sources. The vehicle was under security guard.
Upon arrival, employees discovered the roof of the truck had been cut. The thieves seemed to be prepared: a motion detector inside did not work and had a red mark. Additionally, the area was not covered by CCTV.
Two professional cameras and a set of lenses were stolen, the loss is estimated between half and one million euros. A police investigation is ongoing.
Two burglaries on the set of a TF1 fiction
This is not the first time a theft of filming cameras has occurred. At the end of last year, also in Lyon, two burglaries a month apart occurred on the set of season 2 of “Flashback,” the TF1 fiction series starring Michaël Youn and Constance Gay.
Trucks, carrying cameras rented to film the next six episodes, were visited in the night while parked.
