The Gard gendarmes had a funny surprise when they discovered the identity of a driver who had just cut a white line under their eyes. Arrested, the driver has no identity papers on him but reveals his age to the military: he explains that he is 11 years old! His two passengers are barely older, since they explain that they are 12 and 14 years old…
Inside, the gendarmes discover screwdrivers, in particular. The car intercepted in Fourques, a town in the Rhone Gard located about thirty kilometers from Nîmes, had been spotted on the scene of burglaries, in Arles in particular. The three minors were taken into custody in Arles, where their identities were verified.
