Paris Bone Crypts 5 – Wine Thieves


To Catch A Thief!
Hello Friends,
This week I’m posting my final article for the year about mysterious goings-on at the Paris Bone Crypts. In August 2017, the catacombs located beneath the city of Paris were used as a means to break into a vault stocked with a collection of vintage wines. Using the underground tunnels, thieves drilled a hole through the limestone rock and into the wall of a basement wine cellar.
They stole up to 300 bottles of wine valued at €250,000, in Paris' 6th Arrondissement – near the Luxembourg gardens. Afterwards they retreated back into the dark maze of tunnels below the ground.
The owner was away from the property at the time. Due to the accuracy of the wine cellar break-in, Police suspect the heist was carefully planned.
In the video below, explorer Steve Duncan ventures into the catacombs built in the 1850’s. He says Parisians once used the tunnel from the old limestone mine to go back and forth. Maybe the wine thieves used similar tunnels to carry out their crime.
Would you dig down in search of a complete skull bone?

It’s a pain in the neck.
