Caught in the act
Two men are caught in the act of “violent theft” from a 76-year-old woman walking on crutches.
As always, they use the same procedure:
They follow elderly women to try to see the PIN of the bank card. After shadowing, they stole the card through a stampede.
Except that on October 2, the police were present. The police had a description of the individuals after investigative work with the gendarmerie. It is the Anti-Crime Brigade (BAC) which makes the arrest. They present false identity cards to officials.
