Arrested Thursday, two crows, a man and a woman who live in the same district, had been quickly identified thanks to the fingerprints found on one of the couriers, added the parquet floor. A third person, a 58-year-old man accused by the couple, will be heard by the court on July 2. Unlike the couple, "he does not recognize the facts," said the prosecution. Arrested Friday, he too is prosecuted for "violence against health personnel".
"Above all, there is a lot of immaturity in this affair, they did not realize the consequences of what they were doing," said the Bayonne prosecution.
