Did he make it out or did he drown?
The question was still asked, Sunday evening, after a day of intense research carried out in Chalonnes-sur-Loire (Maine-et-Loire) near Angers.
Saturday afternoon, this is where a 27-year-old man threw himself into the Loire to escape the gendarmes, reports the
Ouest-France
newspaper .
If a witness claims to have seen him disappear in the water, the body of this young father had still not been found on Sunday evening.
The man was being chased by law enforcement after he robbed a nearby supermarket.
According to the daily, the missing person is known to have already wanted to escape the police by throwing himself this time in Maine, in 2019, after a bicycle theft.
