Vol insolite : cigarettes, œufs, raisins, un vigile risque 2 ans de prison

If it weren't for the video surveillance system connected to his cell phone, Abdoulaye Thiaré wouldn't have been able to catch his thief so quickly. On the night of the incident, the alert appeared on his screen: a security guard from a neighboring store, Abdoulaye Sall, had just broken into his own shop. "Given the late hour, I wondered who could possibly be sending me a message. When I opened the app, I saw Abdoulaye Sall slipping between the aisles. I immediately went to the police, but they asked me to wait until the next day. So I went straight to the store. When he came out, I called out to him, but he fiercely resisted," said Abdoulaye Thiaré, the store's manager.

Despite the evidence, the security guard denies the charges. He claims he was on his rounds when he found the door ajar and went in to "inspect the premises."

Regarding the weapon found, he claims it was just a toy. However, the cameras filmed him leaving with cigarettes, eggs, and grapes. "You clearly appear on the videos submitted to the court," the presiding judge retorted. For the prosecutor, the facts are established: nighttime burglary and possession of a weapon. He requested a two-year prison sentence for the defendant.

His lawyer, Mouhamed Fadel Fall, however, attempted a line of defense by pleading hunger: "Wasn't he simply driven by a need for food?"

The decision is expected on September 16.

    Tu parles de quels voleurs de milliards? C'est facile d'accuser mais très difficile de fournir des preuves.
    Lui il a eu ses preuves grâce à la vidéosurveillance. Dites à Sonko de nous montrer le compte bancaire contenant 1000 milliards d'abord. Après il pourra parler de ses adversaires qu'il accuse d'avoir volé des milliards. Il y en a pas.
