His loot was significant and testifies to the “very experienced” profile of this perpetrator of break-ins, who was active in the Saint-Brieuc area. Convicted multiple times in the past, this 24-year-old was released from detention less than a year ago. He had “returned to service” during the recent end-of-year holidays, burglarizing around ten homes and six businesses in the municipalities of Saint-Brieuc, Plérin, Langueux and Ploufragan, between November 20, 2024 and January 9, 2025 . And was sentenced, as reported by Le Télégramme on Friday January 10, to five years of imprisonment.
Before that, the burglar gave a hard time to the investigators of the Sub-Directorate of the Judicial Police (SDPJ) of Côtes-d'Armor, who “engaged in a real treasure hunt, assisted by police technicians technical and scientific of Saint-Brieuc ». “The man acted alone, he entered homes at night and broke into […]continues the Departmental Directorate of the National Police (DDPN) in a press release. The rooms were quickly searched, taking time to seize easily sold multimedia devices, means of payment, cash or keys to vehicles belonging to residents.”
Investigations, cross-checks, fingerprints
As the complaints were filed by the victims, “the investigators carried out meticulous and tedious investigations and cross-checks”. They thus “accumulated numerous clues which, once verified and sometimes reinforced by technical investigations allowing the discovery of prints on the scene”, finally made it possible to confuse the burglar. Who, however, escaped them on December 25, during a first attempt at arrest during which the suspect jumped from a vehicle to escape the police patrol.
He will finally be arrested on January 9, 2025 at one of his drop-off points.
During the searches carried out in the local disputes occupied by this burglar, the police were only able to recover a few objects from the thefts, the rest having already been “sold to receivers whose names they will not mention”.
