Toulouse: he dives into the Garonne to escape the police
Authorized police check the occupants of a car on Friday April 15 around 10:30 a.m. in Toulouse. The driver tried to flee. A passenger even threw himself into the Garonne. Three suspects were arrested.
The police officers of the anti-crime brigade were monitoring a deal point in the Empalot district, this Friday morning in Toulouse when they noticed the behavior of individuals who arrived at full speed rue de Menton. They left quickly.
When the police wanted to control the occupants of this vehicle, the driver accelerated to try to escape. And arrived on the side of the casino, one of the passengers jumped into the Garonne! This morning swim ended on the other bank, in front of police officers who had arrived as reinforcements. This 20-year-old boy ended up getting out of the water.
He joined the driver and the other passenger in police custody at the central police station. None of them claimed ownership of the 350 g of cannabis that was found by the police once calm returned. As for the swimmer, a non-motorized penalty would have pushed him to attempt this dangerous crossing, especially in winter.
Investigators from the Right Bank judicial support group are continuing their investigations to complete the investigation.
