They broke down and ended up in jail. Stranded on the expressway between Vannes and Nantes, 19-year-old twin brothers were hitchhiked on Thursday by a young driver, reports West France. On the way, one of the two young people took out a knife before pointing the blade at the driver’s temple and asking for his cell phone.
The latter, however, did not let it go. Taking advantage of a slowdown at the Atlantis shopping center in Saint-Herblain, the young woman began to honk her horn with all her might to attract the attention of other motorists and scare away her attackers, specifies the daily. The twins were later arrested by the police. In their pockets, the police found the keys to the broken down car. It finally turned out that the vehicle had been stolen on May 12 in Redon (Ille-et-Vilaine), the two brothers having threatened the owner with a knife before stealing his car. Brought before the prosecution on Saturday, the two young people were imprisoned pending trial.
