In Capbreton in Landes, following an investigation carried out as quickly as possible, the gendarmes arrested a person involved in the purchase of a stolen bicycle.
In the Landes, in Capbreton, the gendarmes have just reminded residents of a well-known but sometimes forgotten lesson: a low-cost purchase can sometimes turn out to be expensive. A well-conducted investigation led to the arrest of a person involved in the purchase of a stolen bicycle, highlighting the risks of acquiring questionable goods.
We offer him an electric bike
The events took place when the suspect, passing a stranger in the street, was offered an electric bike at a remarkably low price. Attracted by this tempting offer, he accepted the transaction. The bicycle, carefully hidden in a thicket, was recovered by the buyer who, without thinking about the consequences, loaded his new purchase into the trunk of his luxury car.
However, the operation did not go unnoticed: Capbreton's video surveillance captured the suspicious movements, allowing the authorities to follow the trail of this hasty purchase. The police, after identifying the vehicle and its owner, proceeded to arrest the suspect. The courts were quick to seize the car used to transport the stolen bike, thus bringing the buyer's actions to a complete halt.
He will have to explain himself in court
The arrested individual will soon have to answer for his actions in court, while the investigation remains open to identify the mysterious seller. Local authorities are warning the population against “on the run” transactions, recalling that good deals can hide illegal practices, exposing buyers to legal proceedings.
Case to be continued in the Landes, where this incident reinforces the importance of vigilance and caution in purchases between individuals.
