His time in prison apparently wasn’t enough for him. On the night of Wednesday March 8, a man, just released, was arrested while he was stealing a car, with another member of his family. The two individuals, aged around fifty for one, around thirty for the other, are suspected of being directly involved in around twenty crimes, committed in Essonne and Yvelines.
It had been a few weeks since the police officers of the departmental security and the Essonne anti-crime brigade had been on their trail. “They are suspected of having repeatedly stolen cars. Some were found burned, said a police source. But also to have stolen accessories, such as tires. And finally, to have illegally seized building materials on construction sites, causing heavy damage for individuals and businesses. During the search of their home, an undeclared hunting rifle was also found.
A court hearing set for April 19
The two men, who live in the Essonne district of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, are “very unfavorably” known to the police for similar facts. Presented in immediate appearance this Thursday before the correctional court of Évry-Courcouronnes, they asked for a delay to prepare their defense. Their hearing has been set for April 19. In the meantime, they have been remanded in custody. “For these facts, we risk up to 10 years in prison, recalls a person close to the case. But the two men are in a state of recidivism. Their sentence could be doubled. »
Last November, seven men in their twenties were convicted by the criminal court of Évry-Courcouronnes for around forty car thefts and attempted car thefts in Essonne, Yvelines, Hauts-de -Seine and Seine-et-Marne. The main actor in the traffic was sentenced to four years in prison, including 23 months suspended.
