A "lynching"
At least six criminals would have attacked the head of the production unit, the last to leave the factory.
He was followed home and beaten in a manner described by a source familiar with the matter as a "lynching".
The victim was then brought back to the factory to open the doors of the protected site.
The thieves then used cosmetics.
Before leaving, the robbers sprayed the employee with fire extinguisher foam to erase their genetic fingerprints.
The victim suffered multiple facial fractures requiring surgery.
He returned home, announced the leader of the company.
The latter filed a complaint, as did the victim.
