Man arrested in Alès burglary case

A 40-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday in Alès, France, in connection with a burglary at an esthetic salon. The incident took place several days earlier, but the suspect had already been formally identified by authorities.

Suspect has prior criminal history

The man is a known figure to the police in Alès, having been arrested in early September for a series of burglaries at businesses in the Cévennes region. He was released on bail pending trial for those summer burglaries.

New charges under investigation

He is now under investigation for a separate theft at a store. The man is currently in custody at the Alès police station, awaiting judicial proceedings decided by the city’s prosecutors.

Repeat offender faces trial

This is not the first time the suspect has been arrested and investigated for similar crimes. While awaiting trial for previous offenses, he was released but has since been charged with recidivism, or repeating criminal behavior.
