```htmlJinse Finance reported on June 21, citing Laprovence, that French police arrested four suspects in Marseille and surrounding areas in connection with an attempted kidnapping-style robbery targeting crypto assets. The incident occurred at around 3 a.m. on June 13, 2026, when suspects broke into a residential home in Marseille's 13th district, attempting to obtain crypto-related assets by holding two women hostage. A family was awakened by noise during the incident and immediately called the police, after which the suspects fled the scene, leaving only a clue of the vehicle license plate. It is noted that this type of crypto kidnapping crime is on the rise in France, with roughly 70 cases involving kidnapping or extorting crypto assets recorded since 2026. Police stated that such cases usually target holders of crypto assets and their family members, showing highly targeted and violent characteristics.```
