He was having a drink at the Cosmopolite café, rue Nationale in Florange, early Thursday afternoon. And when it came time to pay, the customer preferred to leave with the cash register. A witness tried to chase him down. But the man on the run reportedly threatened him with death to dissuade him. Then he evaporated with the 340 euros in booty.
He was finally arrested in the evening, in Uckange, by a crew of the surveillance and intervention platoon of the gendarmerie to whom his report had been transmitted. The Psig then handed it over to the police, in charge of the investigation.
The boy spent a few hours in police custody before being presented to the public prosecutor’s department. The duty magistrate summoned him to the Thionville criminal court on Monday, according to the procedure for immediate appearance. Indeed, the accused already has about ten convictions in his criminal record; he is particularly known for drug problems.
