It is 11 p.m. in the deserted parking lot of a shopping center in the Purpan district of Toulouse. Two friends are waiting when they are approached by two strangers, rather excited, who ask them to bring them closer to the city center, to Saint-Cyprien. They refuse and the two men become more aggressive. They jostle them and try to steal their car keys when a rather bright idea crosses the victims. They simply offer to order an “Uber” from them.
The case is handled smoothly and as soon as the headlights of the taxi move away with the attackers on board, they call the police.
Mayhem at the hotel
Officials inquire about the destination address entered in the implication. She leads them to a hotel in the area where the two men did not go unnoticed. The establishment being full, they tried to force the roller shutter of a room. The two fugitives, aged 40 and 45, also already known to the police, will finally be picked up in front of another hotel. The two suspects admitted the facts. They have been remanded in custody pending appearance in court on May 31.
