During each alleged burglary, the modus operandi of the perpetrators did not vary. They climbed the facades of buildings to enter housing located on the ground floor or low floor, forced a window and robbed what they found taking care before blocking the front door of the apartment visited with furniture.

It was this “signature” of the two thugs who led the men of the brigade for the suppression of burglaries of the Rhône departmental security and the Caluire police to recently resolve an investigation into serial burglaries perpetrated in Caluire and Lyon. . About twenty facts for which two suspects must be presented to the Lyon prosecution this Wednesday, learned 20 Minutes from the police.

Suspects Already Incarcerated For Burglary

Little backtracking. In November, after two burglaries in Caluire, close surveillance had been put in place in the town, the victim of an increase in thefts of this type. The two brothers of Albanian origin ended up being arrested as they were preparing to commit two other burglaries. They had been tried in immediate appearance and imprisoned at the end of the judgment.

But the investigators did not stop there, convinced that other similar facts could be attributed to them. They were not mistaken. "The technical investigations and the cross-checking work have indeed made it possible to locate these individuals at the scene of other burglaries", adds this Wednesday the security of the Rhône, which suspects the suspects of being the perpetrators of 19 other thefts. Burglaries of apartments mostly perpetrated in Caluire and, in the margins, in the 6th and 9th arrondissements of Lyon.

This Tuesday, the two men were therefore extracted from the prison of Villefranche-sur-Saône, where they have been serving their sentences since November and were then placed in police custody in the premises of urban security in Lyon. When questioned about the twenty other burglaries of which they are accused, the brothers partially recognized the facts, according to the police.

Judicial information should be opened against them after their presentation to the prosecution on Wednesday. Then the two men should return to their cells in the evening.
