learned from a police source.

It is 6:10 a.m. that morning when the tourist walks peacefully through the corridors of the “Franklin Roosevelt” station, located at the bottom of the Champs-Élysées.

Three individuals then come up to him and attack him: two immobilize him while the third snatches his luxury watch which he wears on his wrist.

The thugs then head outside the station and flee.

Shocked but not hurt, the Moldovan tourist immediately lodged a complaint.

The analysis of video surveillance images from the RATP and the Paris police headquarters quickly bore fruit.

From 7:35 a.m., police officers from the Ile-de-France network brigade (BRF), supported by local police officers, arrested the three alleged perpetrators of the theft in the gardens of Trocadéro (Paris 16th), a place that had become a focal point for delinquency.

The suspects - two Moroccans aged 16 and 17 and a 22-year-old Algerian - are formally recognized by the victim.

They are immediately taken into custody.

The stolen Rolex was found in the police vehicle which was driving the suspects to the police station.
