In a shocking incident early Thursday morning, April 24, 2025, an audacious robbery unfolded at an hotel in Chavannes-de-Bogis. Around 3 AM, four masked bandits stormed the establishment, brutally threatening and tying up the receptionist while striking him. A customer was caught in the chaos, forced to stand beside the victim. The criminals made off with cash and other valuables, leaving the employee with minor injuries.
A swift response from law enforcement unfolded, with a significant police presence mobilized within hours. Multiple patrols, including the canine unit and local police from Nyon Region, collaborated with the Federal Office of Customs and Border Security and Geneva police. The first suspect was arrested quickly while driving a vehicle, with three additional accomplices apprehended later that morning—all within Vaud territory.
The suspects, identified as two 24-year-old French nationals, a 25-year-old Frenchman, and a 27-year-old Frenchwoman, are now facing provisional detention, although they maintain the presumption of innocence during the ongoing investigation led by the criminal investigation department. The case has drawn heightened attention as authorities work tirelessly to piece together the events surrounding this brazen crime.
