he tries to flee on a bicycle, the gendarmes discover a serial thief
An individual riding an electric bicycle in Ramonville-Saint-Agne, south of Toulouse, placed the attention of a gendarmerie brigade. After a chase and a few misadventures, the man was arrested. Linked to 5 burglary cases, he was imprisoned.
It was on Wednesday January 11 that a man riding an electric bicycle was spotted by a gendarmerie brigade from Escalquens. While he is going to be checked, the man flees, but he is quickly caught. The bicycle on which he rides is stolen, but this is not the only discovery that the gendarmes will make…
A bike, but not only
After trying to escape control, the man will multiply the lies so as not to give his identity. The gendarmes of the Castanet brigade will nevertheless succeed in establishing his marital status, and discover that he is linked to 5 cases of burglaries perpetrated since the summer of 2022.
At his home, the gendarmes discover about thirty stolen objects.
The individual, placed in detention after the search of his home, was tried on January 16. He was sentenced to 6 months in prison and an ITF ban from French territory. The ban from French territory can be pronounced against a foreigner residing in France who has committed a felony or misdemeanor. It can be used as the main penalty or as additional penalty.
This ban entails deportation to the border:
- either when the court decision has been pronounced,
- or in the event of a firm prison sentence, if the ITF has been pronounced on a complementary basis.
