These men sought to erase their passage on the spot by spraying fire extinguisher powder.
Except that traces left on the object made it possible to identify "a genetic profile", continues the prosecution.
The suspect is “a 31-year-old man from Seine-Saint-Denis, already convicted several times for violence and traffic offenses”.
Arrested by police officers from the Val-de-Marne Territorial Security last Monday, he admitted the facts during the immediate appearance hearing three days later, while refusing "to designate his co-authors for fear of reprisals" .
He was sentenced to four years' imprisonment, including one year suspended probation for two years, accompanied by a warrant of committal.
