In Lyon, a 54-year-old man, already known to the police, was imprisoned while awaiting trial on Monday in immediate appearance.
Four days earlier, he entered the burns department of the Edouard Herriot hospital, before infiltrating a patient's room and stealing his mobile phone.
The “particularly vulnerable” victim was awaiting a skin graft, specifies the Sûreté du Rhône.
Having the body covered with a "multitude of bandages", she could not intervene and let the thief slip away.
Found thanks to the geolocation of the phone
The latter, however, was arrested at the semi-freedom center in Lyon, where he is imprisoned for a sentence that has not been revealed.
Benefiting from an adjustment of sentence, the suspect had the possibility of leaving his cell during the day.
Investigators found him by geolocating the stolen laptop.
The mobile was also discovered in his cell.
Faced with a fait accompli, the fifty-something admitted to being the author of the theft.
