It did not take very long for the investigators to find the suspects of the ransacking of the Jules-Vallain school, in Lèves, committed on the night of July 23 to 24.
According to the findings, one or more burglars entered the school, which was being renovated, by breaking two windows.
According to the findings, all of the copper piping was stolen and, in passing, the thirty-three sinks in the toilets were broken. The town hall of Lèves assesses the damage at 55,000 €.
Investigators are touring metal recovery companies. At one of the scrap dealers, they found copper pipes, topped with their tap, with traces of paint of the same color as that of the toilets of the school in Lèves.
“With the sinks, he did a sagouin job”
Thanks to the check drawn up by the recovery company, in the amount of 700 €, two suspects are identified and arrested: two men belonging to the community of Travelers, the father and the son, aged 56 and 25 years.
Judged this Friday, July 30, in immediate appearance before the court of Chartres, they admit to being the authors of the burglary and another theft of copper cables on a demolition site, in Chartres, on November 6, 2020.
The modus operandi was the same for both burglaries.
According to the elements disclosed at the hearing, the father was waiting in his van, while his son committed the acts with which they are accused.
“But all the same, with the sinks, he did a sagouin job”, could not help but launch the father to the investigators, when they put the photos in front of him.
“My brain is kidding,” the son justifies himself. ” I’m disabled. “
They are each sentenced to six months suspended probation, plus a € 600 fine for the son.
