The personal video surveillance camera of an individual offers a wealth of details which will undoubtedly prove valuable to the investigators responsible for clarifying this kidnapping in Seine-Saint-Denis, which ended with an attempted homicide in Seine et Marne.
Thursday evening, around 10 p.m., the police were called to rue Augustine-Maréchal, in Pierrefitte, not far from the border with Sarcelles (Val-d'Oise), where two men were allegedly attacked and forced by force to each get into a vehicle.
Once on site, officials noted the presence of traces of blood on the roadway near track number 33.
Luckily, a local resident had an exterior camera which recorded the scene.
Footage shows that a man was indeed beaten by four people, who then forced him into a black Audi.
The victims were transported to Percy and Henri-Mondor
Around two hours later, a call from the national gendarmerie of Meaux (Seine-et-Marne), assigned for an intervention at Departmental 401, informed the Seine-Saint-Denis police officers of the discovery of two gunshot wounds in Rouvres, a village bordering Dammartin-en-Goële and the Oise.
In a state of absolute emergency, the first was airlifted to Percy hospital, in Clamart (Hauts-de-Seine).
He was hit in one thigh and one arm.
The second, also in critical condition, was hit in a thigh and a calf.
The Seine-et-Marne Smur transported him to Henri-Mondor hospital, in Créteil (Val-de-Marne).
The two victims told the police that they had been kidnapped in Pierrefitte by several hooded people.
For what ?
They don't have the slightest idea, they say.
Forced to each get into a car, they were then abandoned in Rouvres by their captors who, as they left, opened fire in their direction.
The Seine-Saint-Denis departmental judicial police service, SDPJ 93, is responsible for the investigation.
Has he already made arrests in this case?
There will be “no communication on this procedure, in order to preserve the ongoing investigations”, responded this Friday afternoon the Bobigny public prosecutor’s office.
