Recently, the Chinese Embassy in France issued the Consular Reminder on the High-speed Robbery of Chinese Tourists Coming to France at the Airport: Recently, we received reports of French Chinese tourists who suffered robbery on the highway from the de Gaulle airport to the Paris city district, illegals generally drive a motorcycle following the target vehicle, while waiting for traffic congestion, violently crashed the window and robbed luggage.

Xiao Zhao (a pseudonym), who traveled in Paris half a month ago, posted a video on a social platform, saying that she was almost robbed on the way to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. She told her story on a certain platform.

On September 21, she told reporters that half a month ago she and her friends began a trip to Europe to hear about European security issues, and that they specifically purchased anti-theft equipment, such as anti-theft wallets, anti-theft chains, and even anti-theft underwear.

The trip went smoothly, the last stop was in Paris, and the two went to different airports after the end. She decided to go to De Gaulle Airport, and she chose to take the public transportation and from the city center to RER Line B (Régional Express Line on the French Island), which is the faster route to the airport. After boarding, after a few stops the train left the city center, she felt the atmosphere in the car started to go wrong, and the whole car was full of colored people, black people, and only she was an Asian woman.

At that time, the carriage was crowded. She sat in the middle of the carriage. The train stopped at every stop, and all kinds of people went up and down. Suddenly, the train stopped suddenly, and a black man suddenly threw himself on Xiao Zhao, screaming and dragging her. Xiao Zhao screamed loudly, attracting the attention of the surroundings, and tried to push the black man away, but he was still tugging, and tore the drink bag in Xiao Zhao's hand and scattered it all over the floor. Someone pulled the black man away. At this time, a woman wearing a headscarf said that the black man's mobile phone had fallen into her shopping bag and asked her to check it, but there was nothing else in the bag except clothes and food.

Xiao Xiao was carrying suitcases and shopping bags on the train.

Xiao Zhao was scared at that time, his mind went blank, and he just wanted to stay away from the black man. He still relentlessly wanted to pounce on him. Before arriving at the airport, after the next stop door opened, Xiao Zhao escaped from the carriage and finally took a taxi to the airport on the road. She talked to the taxi driver about what just happened. The driver said that such things were quite common. Most of them were unemployed in the middle of the city center and Paris airport.

"Asians who travel alone, or women, are enough to be their targets. They just have their eyes on this matter. At first glance, you are going to catch a plane, so you don't have so much time to spend here." Xiao Zhao said that on the way to Paris airport, if you don't want to encounter such things, try to travel together, and don't take that line, you can take a bus or taxi.
