The procedure is quite simple. A young man and woman distract people who come to withdraw cash from an ATM after dialing their code. For the moment, the gendarmes identify several victims: this Wednesday morning before 10 a.m. in Soumoulou, then before 12 p.m. in Bagnères-de-Bigorre. It seems that the couple had also raged in the Landes, in Saint-Vincent-de-Tyrosse.
The Bagnères-de-Bigorre gendarmerie communicates via the Pocket Panel application and details the theft process: “Once the victim has inserted his card and dialed his code, one of the two accomplices makes sure to divert the attention of his prey, either by trickery or by committing violence, while his buddy withdraws a sum of money“Another clarification, “the duo, a man and a woman, young adults, could drive a blue Renault Mégane.”
So it’s about not getting distracted when withdrawing money and if you have any information, you can call 17.
