Toulouse. Drunk, they disguise themselves as fake police and control motorists
Two Toulouse residents, visibly drunk, carried out roadside checks overnight from Sunday to Monday. To be credible, they disguised themselves as a policeman…
Dressed in caps and vests with the “Police” logo, these two men stop all motorists driving on avenue de Saint-Exupéry in Toulouse. And they check driving licenses and identity papers.
This masquerade could have continued if a biker had not reacted. But around 2 a.m. on Monday, a two-wheeler crosses a night police crew. He addresses the civil servants and denounces the presence of two false policemen a little further, on the avenue Saint-Exupéry.
Taser use
Intrigued, the police approach the scene discreetly. They notice an Audi parked on the side of the road and two men who appear to be driving traffic. A funny situation. After a few minutes of observation, the real police move forward with an unmarked car and are in turn arrested by the duo!
Within minutes, one of the two usurpers is apprehended. At the same time, his accomplice rebels and does not allow himself to be handcuffed. One of the officers is eventually forced to use the stun gun to subdue him.
These two individuals, aged 22 and 23, appeared to be heavily intoxicated when they were brought back to the central police station. In their vehicle, the investigators find themselves in a third police cap. Where did they get such equipment? Difficult to say for the moment, but the hours of police custody should make it possible to know more.
