The grimm treasure was the prize for the royals, not wesen. Those wesen villagers were after Nick and Monroe because they discovered that Nick was a grimm; they never said a word about the crypt or the treasure that were hidden in their neighborhood.
The royals knew that Nick had at least one key, so Nick going anywhere in Europe using his own name would have been like sending out engraved invitations to his search for the treasure. And that includes Renard, because while Nick and the scoobies had a good relationship with Renard at the time, trust didn't extend to the keys and the treasure. Not only did Nick not tell Renard where he was going when he told him he'd be "off the grid," he didn't go running to him to tell him what he had found when he got back, either.
