This is a comical affair told by the gendarmes of Haute-Garonne. “This is the story of a unusual gardener who got caught in his own game! », tell the soldiers on their facebook page.
Two burglars seen by the neighbor
The facts, however, are not a fairy tale! In mid-December, the gendarmes were alerted for a suspicion of burglary in the town of Frouzins (Haute-Garonne), located near Toulouse. A neighbor would have seen two individuals, hooded and dressed in black, fleeing from a property over the fence! The gendarmes of the Toulouse-Mirail company move to the house targeted by the burglary, which allows them to “observe a break-in on a window door behind the house”.
An “embarrassed” occupant of the premises
“No suspect is then discovered on the scene or in the vicinity. Lack of owner on site, the house is sealed on instructions from the Toulouse prosecutor’s office”, indicate the gendarmes.
End of the story ? Not quite ! During the night, the occupant of the house returns home and finds in turn, that his home has been searched… Informed of the passage of the gendarmes in his absence, the victim is however particularly “embarrassed”.
A cannabis plantation
And for good reason, man is in his spare time a grower of cannabis herb. A totally illegal activity which did not escape the gendarmes “with incomparable flair”, who had “the happy surprise of discovering a grow room in one of the rooms of the house” during their observations.
He tries everything
The budding gardener then tried everything and decided “to get rid of the feet of plants classified as narcotics by throwing them into the Saint-Martory canal located about ten meters from his home”… before requesting the intervention of the gendarmes!
We had to dare… but the strategy did not work! “Judged, our victim / defendant will have to explain his narcotics detention before the Delegate of the Public Prosecutor shortly! “, explain the gendarmes.
And the two burglars?
As for the two alleged burglars, they are still running in the wild. “We would have liked to end our story with the arrest of our first two suspects, but life is not always a fairy tale… don’t be afraid, they too will end up being trapped!” “, assure the soldiers.
