NAMUR: Arrest of a gang of young thieves

Namur


Twice, the gang went to the home of an 89-year-old lady to steal jewelry and money. To do this, the thieves used the trick to enter the house and forcibly maintain its occupant. Apart from a significant psychological shock, the owner had no physical damage. "We are talking about a robbery with violence and not a home invasion, whose characteristics are different.
"The home invasion is usually a very organized act, committed at night with a lot of violence and hostage taking" explains the substitute of guard.

Twice, the victim was saved at the last minute by the arrival of his nurse's aide, then that of his physio who made the authors flee.

Subsequently, in June, the band was continued his flights in the district of Namur by committing two burglaries in dwellings. It is these two flights that allowed the police to find their trace.

Thus, via a major police operation started on Friday, three of the four perpetrators were arrested.

Two of them are 23 and 19 year olds while the third is a 15 year old girl.

The latter was brought before an investigating judge and placed in IPPJ.

For the other two, the substitute sought an arrest warrant for several violent robberies of a vulnerable person. [19659003Thefourthsuspectisactivelysoughtafter
