There was a big incident of hijacking prisoner cars and rescuing prisoners on the French highway, luxury cars collided and firepower was blazing, and the thrilling plot was comparable to a Hollywood blockbuster!
Prisoners were rescued, 2 prison escort policemen were killed, the first time in 32 years that a French prison police officer died...
The incident alarmed French President Emmanuel Macron, who said that justice must be done for the French prison police and the murderer must be caught.
At 11 a.m. on May 14, a prisoner van departed from Rouen, in northwestern France, to escort prisoners to Evreux, for its cathedral.
The police dispatched two vehicles, the van with prisoners in it, followed by a prison police van. In total, there were five police officers in full armor and only one prisoner.
I thought it was a routine and easy trip, but I didn't expect a thrilling and bloody prisoner robbery shootout to be staged.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the prisoner car (van) passed the toll booth, slowed down, and had just passed the toll booth, when suddenly, a Peugeot car violently hit the prisoner cart from the front, forcing the prisoner van (van) to stop.
According to the surveillance, the Peugeot car came to the front of the toll booth early and seemed to be deliberately waiting for the arrival of the prisoner car. And this Peugeot was stolen just a few days ago.
At the same time, an Audi A5 also suddenly appeared and slammed into the police car from behind, forcing the police car to stop.
Four armed bandits suddenly came out of the two cars, fired at the front and back, and opened heavy fire on the police escorting the two cars.
5 policemen were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, 2 died and 3 were seriously injured.
The four bandits successfully snatched back the prisoners, set fire to the Audi and Peugeot, and then got into the third car prepared in advance, BMW, and drove away.
What kind of prisoner is worthy of a shocking robbery by 4 gangsters?
The robber's name is Mohamed Amra, a Middle Eastern from the name, and he is 30 years old.
On the 14th, he came to Rouen for a trial on charges of attempted murder, and after the morning trial, five prison guards escorted him back to the prison.
And on the 7th of this month, he was just sentenced to 3 years in prison for burglary. And in 2022, he was sentenced to three years for another charge of criminal collusion, extortion and gun possession.
In short, this is a triad boss, the 'boss' of a drug cartel." He committed countless crimes, gun possession, murder, drug trafficking, and nothing wrong.
4 gun-wielding bandits versus 5 gun-wielding prison guards, and the prison guards suffered heavy losses.
The circumstances of the five escort police officers were also revealed, and the two prison guards who died, one of whom had a relatively high position, was the captain, 52 years old this year, and had twin children, and the children were 21 years old this year.
Another 34-year-old prison guard who was killed was preparing to have a baby with his lover this year.
The three seriously injured prison guards were 48, 52 and 55 years old.
It is said that the four armed bandits escaped almost completely and only one appeared to be injured.
The whole thing was so crazy that it attracted a lot of attention in France, almost like a Hollywood cop blockbuster on the spot.
According to the French Minister of Justice, this is the first time in 32 years that a French prison guard has been killed, the last time was in 1992.
Immediately after the incident, the nearby highway was closed, and hundreds of police officers were urgently mobilized to carry out a pursuit.
It is worth mentioning that the lawyer who defended the prisoners, who was famous for defending the underworld and often defended the underworld, was interviewed.
He said he was "completely stunned."
"It's hard for me to imagine this boy being involved in these acts of violence, it's so 'blind, dramatic, crazy, unforgivable!'" he said.
The operation "did not correspond to my impression of him."
Counsel suggests whether it is possible that they (the 4 armed bandits) came to "find" him not to release him, but to use him, and that (the 4 armed bandits) intended to make him pay.
This lawyer is such a talent...
