Chinese e-commerce company JD.com’s warehouse located in Paris, France has resumed normal operation and local police have intervened and are investigating the matter, after it was subjected to theft and robbery on Monday, the company told the Global Times on Wednesday, noting that the “significant loss figures” disclosed by relevant parties differ substantially from the actual situation.

The statement came after some French media outlets including Le Figaro, citing AFP, reported on Tuesday that according to initial findings from the investigation conducted by the Banditry Repression Brigade, the burglars struck during the night between Sunday and Monday, taking care to disable the site's video surveillance system, while the alarm system was not working. They reportedly took around 30 pallets containing more than 50,000 multimedia devices, mostly cell phones, computers, and tablets, but also headphones.

JD.com said in the statement that in recent years, the company has accelerated the advancement of its global network building plan, establishing over 130 overseas warehouses of various types in 23 countries and regions worldwide, all operating in full compliance with laws and regulations. “We will continue to build a superior supply chain, providing high-quality logistics services to businesses and users,” it noted.
