The two suspected thieves were released after a few hours in police custody. “It is linked to medical concerns,” confirm several sources, while the two men, Algerians in violation of the legislation on foreigners, are suspected of having committed around ten caravan thefts from vehicles in the streets of Ivry-sur-Seine (Val-de-Marne).
This case resonates in a particular way after that of a theft committed during the night of December 24 to 25 in a pharmacy in the town by two undocumented Algerians under OQTF. The two men, caught red-handed, were released for lack of harm. And without a place in an administrative detention center, they left free. Only, on the night of New Year's Day, they were talked about again after a caravan theft in Thiais.
There, the two suspects were caught in the act after a theft from the trailer during the night from Saturday to Sunday. Around 3 a.m., a police patrol went to the scene to report a theft from a car. Two men were described to law enforcement as the possible perpetrators. Arriving on rue René-Villars, officials counted eleven damaged vehicles. The police are circulating in the surrounding streets looking for the suspects. They eventually spot two men matching the descriptions and approach each other.
The suspects tried to flee and did not give in when the police arrived. Shots rained down, one tried to seize the official weapon of one of the police officers. The arrest is intended to be heavy-handed and the police use an electric pulse gun to control them.
However, the officials noticed that one of them was quite seriously injured in his arm. He simply cut himself severely by breaking one of the windows of the cars visited. Furthermore, in the bags of the two suspects, they discovered numerous objects stolen from the vehicles.
At the same time, the police notified the emergency services who took care of the injured person. The two suspects were finally taken into custody before being released. In both cases, the doctor who examined them deemed their condition incompatible with police custody. “We have nothing to say. A magistrate must then lift custody,” indicates a source close to the case. For one, the cut is too serious and may require further treatment. As for the second, he had recently had eye surgery.
