“We have seen, however, robberies, burglaries. But in 35 years of existence, this is the first time we have attempted robbery, ”says Adèle Marchesin, manager of the eponymous tobacco bar in Thionville-Garche.
This Friday, around 2:30 p.m., an individual dressed entirely in black enters the small family business. Wearing tights on his head and carrying a bag, he goes to the counter where the manager’s son, who is also the bar assistant, is standing. At this hour, a few customers are seated, a man is doing his trifecta. A little confused, hesitant, the man in black asks Thierry Marchesin for the cash register, stammering. The tobacconist does not understand, asks him to repeat. At the same time, hidden a little further, the grandson of the boss calls the police.

” Go away ! “
The hooded individual summons the manager a second time to give him the money while sliding his gloved hand into the bag. The shopkeeper walks around the counter where, in a display, there are hunting and fishing items. He grabs a 12-inch-long hunting knife before the robber pulls out what appears to be a pistol. ” Go away ! “, Thierry Marchesin launches him, obviously not taken aback by the weapon held by the individual. “Impressed by the knife”, he fled, pursued for a few meters by the shopkeeper. On his way, he meets many onlookers. The individual was finally arrested by police officers barely 1 km from the bar-tabac.
“It was my son who told me because I wasn’t there,” says the manager. It is not known if he was holding a real pistol. In any case, he took nothing from us and above all no one was injured, that’s the main thing. “
