If this suspect is indeed the perpetrator, this has got to be up there among the stupidest ways to get caught.
The guy’s already known to police, and in addition to being famously caught on camera, the cops likely have forensics to identify him. So then he decides to go to Algeria, which is going to be super sus any day of the week. And he decides the best way to do that is by going to CDG, where there’s not only a ton of police and cameras, but since he’s leaving Schengen, he’ll have to present a passport.
I’m sure it didn’t take the cops too much effort to put that together. And now of course they’ll rattle him until he coughs up the names of his accomplices. It won’t really matter if he doesn’t because they’ll backtrack his steps to figure out where he’s been and with whom anyway.
I’m sure the gaggle of thieves are proud to have worked with this moron.
It would be a real coup if he’s actually innocent and was paid to act as a red herring to distract from the real criminals
well you have to be a moron to rob one of the most high profile museums in the world so…
We got a real Danny Ocean over here. What have you stolen besides the latest chapters of One Piece? 🤔
What’s wrong with visiting Algeria? That’s been on my bucket list for a while now actually.
Not relevant to the story, but fuck Algeria.
The largest gang in Paris is French Maghrebis, which is predominantly Algerian.
I’m not sure what the commenter above meant either, but as a former colony, I’d guess it would be easier to extradite him as needed. Also, I’d think you’d want to get a lot more distance from France if you really were trying to flee. *shrug*
Woooooooooooooo!
Finally, some good fucking news lol
Love me a good heist
Why is it good news they got arrested? Let them win.
Genuinely curious what your perspective is that lets you see this as good news - it’s just bleakly depressing to me, but I’m a bit of a downer.
Imagine thinking a smash and grab is a real heist 🤭🤭🤭
