Deal concluded for Hauts-de-Seine investigators.
This Saturday, February 3, they must bring three men suspected of having attempted to burglarize the antique and second-hand dealer Djamel Bentenah at his home in Colombes (Hauts-de-Seine) to the Nanterre court, we learned from a police source.
For fans of the “Affaire concluded” program, which airs every day in the middle of the afternoon on France 2, this name is familiar.
It’s that of one of the “buyers” of this show presented by host Julia Vignali.
“He’s one of those who doesn’t buy just anything,” describes a loyal viewer.
Arrested with gloves, balaclavas, a crowbar and a screwdriver
According to our information, the three suspects were arrested during the night of Thursday to Friday February 2 in the building where the art lover lives, in the city center of Colombes.
It was not yet 4 a.m. when a neighbor, intrigued by the nighttime commotion, called the police.
A crew arrives on site.
The police arrest a first man on the stairs.
It was undoubtedly he who was responsible for keeping watch.
The officials continued to go upstairs and surprised two other young people trying to hide in a storage room located in common areas.

On them, they found gloves, hoods, a crowbar and a screwdriver.
They allegedly tried to force the door of the antique dealer's apartment.
Weighing traces were in any case noted by forensic technicians.
We do not know whether the suspects, domiciled in Paris (13th century) and Argenteuil (Val-d'Oise), are already known and whether they caused other victims during the night.
Another theft an hour later in the same area
About an hour later, in the same neighborhood, an unaccompanied minor was arrested for an attempted burglary.
Surprised in an apartment by the owner, he fled with his accomplice.
But he dropped his phone.
A few minutes later, he called her line to contact his victim and offer a settlement.
He was returning the computer he had managed to steal in exchange for his laptop.
Deal done.
And he was received by the police.
For almost a year, multiple personalities have been targeted during burglaries and even violent attacks at their homes.
In the case of which Djamel Bentenah was the victim, we do not yet know if the accused knew his identity.
Contacted this Saturday, the Nanterre public prosecutor's office did not respond to our requests.
