The material found in the car leaves little room for doubt.
According to the police, there was the paraphernalia to carry out a home-jacking.
Two men, whom the police suspected of committing the act, were arrested during the night from Saturday to Sunday in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine).
It was around 1:45 a.m. when a police patrol spotted and checked a vehicle whose two hooded and gloved occupants were in possession of pliers, two screwdrivers, and above all two addresses in the city.
They were immediately apprehended without incident and placed in police custody at the Neuilly-sur-Seine police station.
If the investigation will have to determine whether the two suspects were about to commit the act, this arrest comes in a context of an explosion in the number of burglaries and an increase in home-jackings in this upscale sector of the west of the department, particularly against celebrities.
