Two of them were already subject to a deprivation of liberty measure. They are suspected of having attacked a couple and their children on March 1, in the 14th arrondissement.
The facts were particularly traumatic. According to information from BFMTV, four young men, including two minors aged 16 and 17, were placed in police custody on April 22 in the premises of the 3rd judicial police district (DPJ) of Paris as part of an investigation into a violent home-jacking, committed on the night of March 1, in the 14th arrondissement.
The Paris public prosecutor’s office had opened an investigation into acts of “aggravated theft”, “extortion by an organized gang” and “voluntary violence in a meeting with an ITT of more than 8 days”.
Jewelry, luxury watches and 10,000 euros stolen
The four suspects – one of the minors of whom was taken from his cell in Le Havre prison (Seine-Maritime) and the second from the closed educational center of Savigny-sur-Orge (Essonne) – denied the alleged acts despite the elements collected by investigators.
Traces of blood found in the victims’ apartment as well as a genetic fingerprint taken from a glove used by one of the attackers made it possible to trace the two adults, aged 18 and 28.
On the night of the incident, around 3 a.m., several strangers managed to enter the victims’ apartment by passing through a window. The father of the family received a hail of blows before seeing his thieves take several pieces of jewelry, luxury watches and 10,000 euros in cash.
This home-jacking took place in the presence of the couple’s children, aged 4 and 7. In his escape, one of the burglars fell from a gutter before joining his accomplices. The perpetrators then quickly left the scene after getting into a car.
