On the night of Saturday January 29, the gendarmes carried out an operation to combat crime at the Bellevue roundabout. They stop a car coming from the Dutch side which was making a U-turn. A strong smell of cannabis emanating from the car, the gendarmes decide to carry out a search which will make it possible to discover bags containing a small quantity of grass as well as mechanical tools and a calculator in the glove box. The three passengers were arrested and taken into custody. They are suspected of stealing cars.
DE, DK and NR, aged 25, 18 and 24 respectively, are placed in pre-trial detention pending their trial four days later in an immediate appearance. Accused of participating in a criminal association with a view to preparing a crime, in this case car theft, they deny the facts and indicate that they were going partly to France to see a girl. But, their statements are not consistent.
The prosecution requested sentences of 30, 18 and 24 months in prison with continued detention and a fine of 2 euros against NR and DE. The court sentenced them to eighteen months in prison with their continued detention and a ban on staying in France for two years. DE was also banned from driving in France for two years, he was also prosecuted for driving without a license.
On the other hand, they were acquitted of the acts of illicit use of narcotics, of which they had also been accused, because no screening had been carried out after their arrest, to prove it.
