This Monday December 19, early in the morning, while the pedestrian plateau of Thionvillois was covered by a dangerous layer of ice, a Thionvillois was robbed by a young adult who, at first sight, had approached him to help him get around the city.
The pensioner, feeling his feet on the slippery ground with his cane, first greeted the solicitude “of this good boy who came spontaneously to take me by the arm to move forward in complete safety”.
After thanking him warmly, the victim went to a café to have her coffee. It was then that she realized that the thief had stolen her cell phone and wallet. “I didn’t notice anything,” complains the one who reproaches himself for having gone out in this bad weather.
Alerted by a customer of the bar who took empathy for this disoriented man, the municipal police officers also took over the place, bearing in mind a brief description of the individual. The invaluable help of the CCTV cameras made it possible, within half an hour, to intercept the criminal, known to the services, rue de Paris.
He was immediately arrested and placed in police custody. The police handed over his personal belongings to the victim.
