Reality TV contestant Greg Yega, known for his participation in the "Marseillais" series, was the victim of an armed robbery this Sunday, January 14 at the end of the day while he was in a hair salon in the <>th arrondissement of Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhône), Le Parisien has learned, confirming information from BFM Marseille Provence.
The 30-year-old was in an establishment in the Saint-Marcel district when two people burst into the hair salon at around 19 p.m. They then threatened the customers present with knives and used a tear gas canister. The reality TV contestant was the victim of the theft of several personal belongings: his scooter, a satchel and his watch. The two criminals then fled.
Two men arrested and taken into custody
But the Airtag on Greg Yega's scooter, known as "Bebew," quickly led to the tracking of two suspects. The two men, aged in their twenties, were arrested by the BAC in Marseille, still in the 11th arrondissement. They were taken into custody.
