It was a villainous Santa Claus who was intercepted by members of the night anti-crime brigade in the Mirail district of Toulouse. Around 1:30 a.m., during the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the police, on patrol, saw a man jumping over a barrier separating the primary school from the Ferdinand de Lesseps nursery school, Pradettes district. They question him and learn about his loot.
In his well-filled shopping bag, a laptop, identified as equipment provided by the Occitanie region, and gift packages, stolen from a nursery school class. The 42-year-old man was known to the police.
All gifts have been returned
Fortunately for the children, all the stolen goods were returned to the nursery school director. The burglar, meanwhile, is still in custody. He was also notified that he would be tried in criminal court in connection with another theft case.
