A 21-year-old young man must be taken out of his cell on Tuesday to be tried in immediate appearance before the Lyon Criminal Court.

He is suspected of having participated, four days earlier, in a burglary with the help of several accomplices.

But he is the only one to have been identified and arrested by the police.

On the night of Thursday to Friday, the group would have broken into an apartment, located rue de Condé in the second arrondissement of Lyon.

Awakened by the sound of footsteps, the owner pretended to continue sleeping before showing up.

The burglars, surprised, scampered like rabbits.

Locked up

Less fortunate than his accomplices, the suspect was arrested a few meters away with a bag of clothes belonging to the victim in his arms.

But he pretended to have nothing to do with it.

Without disassembling himself, he indicated that a man, crossed by chance in the street, had given him this bag when the police arrived.

Needless to say, these explanations did not convince the investigators, especially since he was then formally identified by the victim.

At the end of his police custody, he was imprisoned.
