Their baby will not have softened the judges.
A young couple was brought to justice after a series of burglaries in the Meulan-en-Yvelines area, near Les Mureaux.
To go unnoticed, they committed their burglary with their baby and a stroller.
Last Saturday, a resident of Meulan called the police.
A theft has just been committed in the town.
Thanks to a precise description, the police quickly apprehend the climber, a few hundred meters from the scene of the burglary.
But the man is not alone.
He is accompanied by a woman… and a stroller in which a baby has taken place.
The police begin by patting down the alleged thief.
A screwdriver is found in his possession.
In her companion's handbag, they discover a gold necklace and a watch.
The couple and their baby are taken to the Mureaux police station.
A way to know if the slot was empty
But during the transfer, the young woman, aged 17, is afraid.
Worried about the fate of her child, she suddenly shows herself to be cooperative and then confesses to another theft at Les Mureaux, on the same day.
She also details their stratagem: she was in charge of ringing the doorbells of houses and when no one answered, her sidekick would take action.
She was waiting nearby with the child in the stroller.
Placed in police custody, the two lovers recognize the facts.
In addition to the jewels found in their bags, the investigators will get their hands on another part of the loot, hidden in the forest by the 21-year-old young dad.
Presented before a magistrate, the latter will receive 15 months in prison.
His companion was transferred to a juvenile judge.
Both are domiciled in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, not far from there.
Their baby, aged 10 and a half months, was placed with the family.
