His dark clothes and his protective mask directed several witnesses on a false track and gave rise to a big misunderstanding. Shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday evening, around twenty police officers, including two BAC groups, intervened at the Auchan hypermarket in Caluire, near Lyon, after being alerted of a robbery in progress, reports Le Progrès.
Several employees of the store have indeed spotted, in the jewelry store of the hypermarket, a man dressed in black also wearing a dark mask. They immediately notified security, which immediately called the police.
BE CAREFUL OF FALSE INFORMATION
Auchan Caluire has been robbed.
In fact, there was no robbery, but one person believed that someone wearing a Covid mask was robbing the jewelry store when they were simply paying for their purchase !!!
The store evacuated
When law enforcement arrived, customers still present in the hypermarket were put in safety or evacuated. Then the police went to the jewelry store to stop the jewelry thief in the act.
But the robber was really just a customer wearing a black protective mask against the Covid-19, who was paying for his purchases when he saw the officials disembark.
