“We can understand the reaction of this gentleman, victim of a third motorcycle theft, but it is better to let the police do their work,” says Alexandre Brahier, spokesperson for the cantonal law enforcement agencies. Acting on your own has dangers. There is obviously the risk of coming face to face with criminals “who can be armed, even with a simple screwdriver or a knife, and attack you.” The situation could be even more dangerous if it occurs in an isolated location, such as an underground garage. “In this case, hoping for rapid assistance is illusory.” Finally, behavior like that of Luc can lead… to court: “Imagine a mistake in place or person, then an altercation, explains Alexandre Brahier. From being a victim, the person can find themselves an aggressor.”
