It is an understatement to say that the suspected robbers of dabists prepared their shots with care.
This Wednesday, on the ninth day of the trial of these three men tried for two bank robberies and two attempts, with kidnapping of technicians responsible for the maintenance of automatic teller machines (DAB), the Hauts-de-Seine assize court looked at the scouts prior to the attacks.
The latter were committed between October 2016 and March 2017 in Malakoff, Suresnes (Hauts-de-Seine) and Paris.
Before attacking the dabists, targeted for their inexperience and / or their unimpressive size, the team, made up of three criminals with copious criminal records, hid around the strongholds of Temis, the cash transport company. , in Levallois-Perret.
And truly “pinpointed” the technicians before taking action.
War phones and hideouts
Investigators shed light on these spinning mills, examining thousands of telephone data collected during the last robbery.
In this case the failed attack of a dabist, who was going to troubleshoot a BNP device, in Suresnes, on March 25, 2017.
Four cell phone numbers identified by the demarcation appeared that day, as well as five days later in Levallois-Perret, on the outskirts of Temis, the strong center in which several targeted dabists were working.
These four “war telephones” followed the technician's route throughout his tour of the ATMs in Paris, without being held up.
Same scenario two weeks later.
In both cases, the video surveillance of the streets of Levallois and the capital will confirm the spinning.

Before physically locating the suspects, the Banditry Repression Brigade (BRB) hid around the Temis center for several days.
Until April 19, 2017 when, as the president of the court, Jeanne Duyé, recalled, the investigators spotted the merry-go-round of a Kangoo van (the one that was used to kidnap the hostages), as well as the aisles and from suspects.
They were dressed in fluorescent orange vests, like a workman's clothes, which allowed them to blend in with the surroundings of this sector, which was then under construction.
City chase
The police tried to stop them in the act that morning, but between Sioux's caution of the robbers, the traffic jams and the chase in the middle of the city, they escaped them by abandoning the Kangoo in the middle of the road. , in Asnières.
The search of this car isolated a new fleet of war telephones, still operating in a closed circuit.
And also lines linked to GPS beacons.
The robbers would have stuck them under the cars of the spy dabists.
A technician from Temis thus lived under surveillance, between his home in Oise and Levallois, then in all his travels.
The night before the failed arrest, the robbers were outside his house.
The police found them in the early morning in a safe house in front of the stronghold.
