North: six men charged after raping a mother during a robbery

In the Nord region of France, six men have been placed under formal investigation after a mother was raped during a home invasion. The incident occurred on the night of January 7–8 in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, where the woman was attacked by masked intruders who forced her back inside and subjected her to repeated sexual assault while threatening her with a firearm. Police initially attempted to stop the fleeing suspects by shooting at their tires, leading to the arrest of one individual shortly after. Over the course of six months, authorities tracked down the remaining five accomplices, some of whom were apprehended in Spain. The case has led to charges of organized theft and rape, with several suspects now facing legal proceedings.
