Glass breaker hammer on him
This shady behavior will cause them to question him. On him, the police discovered a glass breaker hammer, a practical tool when you are a specialist in trailer flying.
The 29-year-old was not his first shot. While in custody, he recognizes several other robberies committed in Saumur and in the west of France.
Native of Papeete (French Polynesia), he is homeless. "If people do not want to be stolen, they do not leave their belongings in cars," he said during his hearings.
Presented before the prosecutor, he refused an eight-month prison sentence. He was therefore placed in pre-trial detention pending the date of his judgment.
