According to a report from Variety, the robbery took place in a neighborhood in Nanterre, on the outskirts of Paris. The production was reportedly ambushed by a group of masked men who broke onto set after throwing mortar fireworks. According to the news outlet AFP, an estimated €300,000 ($333,000) worth of equipment was stolen. Netflix later confirmed the news to Variety, noting that “there was an incident on Feb. 25 while filming the upcoming season of Lupin. Our cast and crew are safe and there were no injuries.”
The robbery comes just a day after thieves stole more than $200,000 worth of props from the set of another Netflix series, The Crown. Thankfully for all involved, no one was harmed in either case.
