Their ballet was well established. A member of the gang clung “fraternally” to the rare night owls who still strolled on the boulevards of Toulouse at 4 am, he stuck them heavily while these two accomplices kept watch. And when the trio walked away, the victim of the moment no longer had a chain around his neck. But on Sunday, a patrol of the
anti-crime squad surprised the merry-go-round.
Two men aged 21 and 28 were arrested. And of the seven necklaces found, in addition to a cleverly stolen cell phone, most were hidden on the 17-year-old who was walking with them. In her bra more exactly.
The minor was presented to a judge. His two acolytes, only one of whom was already known to the services, were referred to the prosecution on Monday morning for an immediate appearance.
