On Tuesday morning, a store belonging to the French telecommunications company SFR was robbed in the 6th arrondissement of Lyon. Two armed men entered the store and threatened employees, demanding they hand over phones before fleeing on scooters. Later that same day, in the afternoon, a similar incident occurred at a Bouygues store located in the Croix-Rousse neighborhood. According to Le Progrès, the second robbery followed the same pattern: two men with weapons forced employees to surrender phones before escaping on scooters. The two incidents took place in different areas of Lyon, but the method used by the robbers was nearly identical. Authorities have launched two separate investigations into the crimes. However, they have not ruled out the possibility that the same group of individuals was responsible for both robberies. Lyon, a major city in eastern France, has experienced a rise in small-scale robberies in recent months. These incidents often involve quick thefts with minimal violence, typically targeting stores that sell electronic devices or valuable items. Such crimes are usually carried out by small groups, often using scooters or bicycles to escape quickly and avoid detection. The local police are urging anyone with information to come forward, as they continue to investigate the possibility of a connection between the two robberies. For now, the public is being advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
