Two Stolen Porsches Recovered in France After Armed Luxembourg Dealership Robbery

Two rare Porsches stolen during an armed robbery at a Luxembourg dealership have been recovered in France, with two suspects arrested and a third still at large following a coordinated cross-border investigation.

How the Robbery Happened

According to authorities, the robbery occurred on October 27, 2025, when a group of suspects entered the dealership and threatened employees, forcing them to hand over keys to a Porsche 911 Dakar and an RS Spyder. The suspects fled the scene before law enforcement could respond.

A Quick Cross-Border Response

Luxembourg police alerted French authorities shortly after the robbery, anticipating the suspects would attempt to cross the border. By that evening, France’s Anti-Crime Brigade had located the vehicles in an industrial area of Thionville. During the response, two suspects were arrested, while a third fled on foot and remains at large. One of the stolen Porsches was later found abandoned in a nearby trailer park.

International Legal Proceedings

French investigators are currently leading the case, with Luxembourg authorities remaining involved given the cross-border nature of the crime. A European Arrest Warrant has been issued for the suspect believed to be the group’s ringleader, and extradition proceedings are expected once that suspect is located. As with any pending case, the suspects are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Possible Ties to a Larger Theft Network

Investigators say the level of planning involved in the robbery has raised questions about whether the group may be connected to a broader European vehicle theft network. The recovered Porsches are being held as evidence while the investigation into the robbery and any wider criminal ties continues.
