Nothing stops them. While it has been more than two weeks since the French are, for the most part, in containment against the epidemic of coronavirus, the criminals, them, take the opportunity. In Hauts-de-France, the gendarmes alerted to several practices observed in recent days.
We now know that everyone must stay at home. To deviate from the rule in certain specific cases, it is necessary to have a certificate of derogatory displacement with a valid reason. And if we are not in the nails, it is the fine in the amount of 135 euros. The police regularly carry out checks, mobile or at fixed points, to check whether the people outside have a good reason to be there. And crooks have found a way to make money in this process.
Tips for avoiding a false check
According to the gendarmes from the North, false gendarmes have already acted in this way, especially in the municipalities of Bousies and Steenvorde. With or without a distinctive sign, like an armband, but in civilian clothes, individuals check the certificates. In the event of non-presentation of the famous sesame, the crooks demand the immediate and cash payment of the amount of the fine assure the (real) gendarmes.
The military gives two tips for not being tricked. First, the gendarmes never carry out civilian control missions. If in doubt, just ask them for their professional card, something a real gendarme cannot refuse. Secondly, for this type of offense, the police never demand immediate payment of the fine, and even less in cash.
"Tranquility business" device during confinement
The layoff of a large number of companies has left the premises of many of them unoccupied. Bread blessed for burglars. Thus, at the end of last week, several people were arrested by the GIGN of Reims. According to the gendarmes, they are accused of having perpetrated no less than 47 night raids in the Aisne and the Marne. With confinement, the band had refocused on food stores or medical offices. They will be judged next July.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, a "business tranquility" system was launched by the gendarmes of Hallennes-lez-Haubourdin, just like what exists when going on vacation. Companies who wish to fill out a form and the gendarmes will ensure more regular patrols around their premises.
