B. Noble-Werner / 20 Minutes

In the midst of a curfew, two homeless people aged 19 and 20 were arrested in Lyon 7th, on October 27 at 11 p.m.

Suspected of willful damage to public property, death threats to a person charged with a public service mission and concealment of theft, the two young people were in the process of being placed in police custody.

Already known to the police, they could not stand that a driver of a TCL bus would not let them board at the Garibaldi-Berthelot corner, on the pretext that they were not wearing a mask.

They then insulted and threatened the driver with death, before smashing a side window of the vehicle.

One of the two suspects was the subject of a search form for being obliged to leave the national territory, while the second, in an irregular situation, was in possession of a stolen mobile phone at the time of his arrest.

According to the police, they partially admitted the facts and have just been sentenced to 6 and 12 months in prison respectively.
