For six months, these kids had been attacking phone shops to grab the latest phones.
These three teenagers aged 16-17 were arrested last Tuesday in Nanterre, where they live, indicted on Thursday and remanded in custody for two of them, the third being placed under judicial control.
The series of armed robberies began at the beginning of June in the SFR store in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a regular target of robbers.
But not always from the same teams.
The young criminals appeared gun in hand in the shop, threatening the employees to take control of the devices.
Before fleeing on a scooter.
Fast turns and an always similar direction of escape: Nanterre.
This guided the investigators of the judicial police on their tracks.

And by cross-checking the robberies or attempted robberies committed in other telephone shops, the Hauts-de-Seine judicial police investigators identified the trio of baby robbers, who were particularly rampant in SFR shops and still in the municipalities close to Neuilly and Nanterre.
Except once, when they took action in Paris.
After the two days of police custody, the prosecution opened a judicial investigation for armed robbery in an organized gang and criminal association.
Investigations will continue as part of the investigation to determine if the suspects are involved in other similar robberies.
Their overall loot would amount to a few tens of thousands of euros.
