When they left their house in Plouhinec, around 11:30 a.m. on May 26, 2024, to go to Plozévet, they were worried when they saw two individuals walking on the road. They remotely activate the video surveillance of the house. Their intuition is good, an intrusion is triggered. They warn neighbors and police, return and come across the same two men, who are carrying bags.
The female victim takes a photo. The man tries to intercept them, holding on to the vehicle as it leaves. He is scratched and incapacitated for seven days. The photo allows the gendarmes to get their hands on the defendant, aged 23, who is not from Finistère. He recognizes the facts. The other burglar has not been found.
“By chance, it happened like that”
What were you doing 150 km from home?
asks the president, Lucile Chaussade. By chance, it happened like that,”
replies the defendant, tersely.
The burglars stole an X Box One games console, games, jewelry, watches, perfume, cosmetics. The console and games were found at the defendant's house. Where have the watches and jewelry gone?
the president asks. I threw them in a container near my house,”
replies the young man.
He has three mentions on his record, including two for theft. He is a repeat offender and has a current suspended sentence. Prosecutor Philippe Lemoine requires 16 months, eight of which are accompanied by a probationary suspension of 24 months, in addition to three months of revocation of a previous suspension, a committal warrant, a ban on residence in Finistère for five years, and confiscation of the vehicle.
The court sentences the defendant to nine months in addition to three months of partial revocation of the previous suspended sentence, without ab initio adjustment but without continued detention, leaving it to the sentencing judge to assess his desire for reintegration. He confirms the confiscation of the vehicle.
