The Calvados robbers arrested by the GIGN in Paris

Their flight was stopped dead by the lightning action of the GIGN : Wednesday January 20, two suspected robbers were arrested by the elite forces of the gendarmerie, in Montparnasse station, around 6 p.m., in Paris.

It is not known if they were about to take a train or get off, but the two young men abandoned their car, registered in 78 (Yvelines), after their failed robberies in Calvados.

Wednesday, January 20, 2021, around noon, they had pointed a handgun (revolver or pistol type) at a couple of septuagenarians, living in Biéville-Beuville, near Caen: one of the robbers had given them an appointment, in a mini-market car park, to buy their car, which was for sale on a website.

Although the wife was knocked down, the husband struggled and made them run away. Scenario similar to Ver-sur-Mer, soon after, where the owner of a car on sale did not give way either.

Investigation in the Paris region?

The two suspects are currently in custody to be heard on these facts. The case could be supervised by a prosecutor’s office in the Paris region, where the duo are said to be from.
