The story does not clearly say what went through the head of this Dracénois, known to the police. One thing is certain, the man, of no fixed address, broke into a vehicle parked at the level of the avenue de la 1ère Armée, not far from the CGR cinema, before offering himself a small swerve in town.
From a police source, the author of the offense explained in his deposition “being attracted by a pack of cigarettes” left on one of the seats. From there was born the bright idea of using the vehicle to “to go to his sister’s house” . He will then explain that he first went to the Collettes district, before retracing his steps at the wheel of the stolen vehicle. Bad luck for him, it is at this moment that he will meet the owner of the car in question. Who, furious to see the disappearance of his car at the exit of the screening of his film, will manage to block the thief with the help of a third-party vehicle, while calling 17.
Under the direction of the Draguignan prosecutor’s office, the man was arrested and then placed in police custody, before being released yesterday. He will be summoned by the prosecutor on July 25 for a criminal composition (1).
1. The criminal composition allows the public prosecutor to propose a sanction to the perpetrator to avoid a trial. It can be used if he admits his guilt. If he accepts the sanction, the agreement can be validated by the president of the court. If the perpetrator or the president of the court refuses, the prosecutor can institute proceedings.
