Isère: an individual, nicknamed “the man with the scooter”, actively wanted for rape in Grenoble
(FRANCEINFO)
Since last January, a man is suspected of having committed two sexual assaults, three rapes and four acts of violence in the metropolitan area of Grenoble, in Isère. Investigators are actively looking for this individual, who is operating on a scooter.
Investigators call him “the man with the scooter”. It is by this means of locomotion that he seeks his victims. In barely two months, the individual is suspected of having committed two sexual assaults, three rapes and four acts of violence in Grenoble (Isère) and its outskirts. The victims are young women aged 20 to 27. It seems to act at night, “alone, dressed in black, riding a black scooter”, indicates the public prosecutor, Éric Vaillant. He “spots his victims and follows them before attacking them”he explains.
A profile considered very worrying
The man is actively sought throughout the city. Although the investigators did not release a composite portrait, they provided a detailed description of the individual: 20 years old, 1m70, European type with no accent, normal build or even slightly plump, brown eyes, pale complexion and rather red hair. The deputy departmental secretary of Alliance Police Nationale, Stéphane Gianesello, considers his profile very worrying. “It’s really gaining strength. Like any predator, it wanders, it zones, it hunts”he notes.
