It is a vast investigation carried out by various services, including the judicial police of Dijon, which resulted in the evening of Thursday May 18 in the arrest of three criminals in Seine-et-Marne, reveals The Parisian. Passing themselves off as bogus gendarmes and most often attacking elderly people, these three men, aged between 30 and 40, raged over a vast territory ranging from Rhône-Alpes to the Paris region, and mainly in Burgundy- Franche-Comté, where a certain number of facts were committed, in particular in the Dijon region or even in Mâcon, according to our information.
Arrested after beating a woman
According to The Parisian, they were arrested as they returned “from a raid against elderly people near Vitry-le-François (Marne) during which a woman was beaten up”. They seized several valuables, including rings, a necklace, earrings, a Louis Vuitton handbag, but also wallets containing money and bank cards.
A theft committed in Fontaine-lès-Dijon?
A modus operandi which is reminiscent of an attack committed at the end of April in Fontaine-lès-Dijon, and which could be the act of the same men. Claiming to have to carry out a neighborhood survey as part of a case, two individuals posing as gendarmes had attacked an octogenarian with tear gas, stealing her jewelry.
A judicial investigation for theft in an organized gang and criminal association was opened, and the three men were actively sought by the Dijon police, working jointly with those of the BRI of Versailles but also those of the departmental security of the Rhône.
Referred to Mâcon at the start of the week?
After their arrest in the Paris region, they were placed in police custody in the premises of the Dijon banditry repression brigade. They should be brought before the Mâcon prosecutor’s office early next week.
