It’s described the kind of record that shows the police don’t treat complaints of theft lightly. After a little over three months of investigation, the knowledge unit at Rive Gauche goods got their hands on a thief, who seems very keen on soft mobility. This 24-year-old enthusiast of new means of transport raged at the end of the afternoon on November 22 in the Colomiers sector. He had cut the fence of the home of a fifty-year-old to steal a scooter worth 630 euros. He then put it in the trunk of his vehicle before driving off. A neighbor had immortalized the scene with his mobile phone. He transmitted the video to the police who were able to trace the perpetrator back to the perpetrator. Heard on March 14, this 24-year-old explained that he did not remember this flight. His memory would have been rendered fallible by heavy drug treatment… He was summoned to court on April 29. The police did not find the scooter.
