The fact remains that by searching this old granite building, the gendarmes were able to measure that the hunt for the fugitive would undoubtedly not be easy, with this nagging question: why did the man flee at the time of the control of this illegal breeding of 26 Beagle dogs? As a reminder, the individual is known to law enforcement in the United Kingdom. He was convicted of fraud in England.

The search carried out on Friday August 26 at the home of the fifty-year-old was successful. According to information from franceinfo, investigators found new phones with prepaid cards, ideal for thwarting surveillance. Did the suspect equip himself for his escape to avoid detection? Too early to say.
