Two individuals were arrested in connection with the theft of professional tools valued at 22,000 euros in the Var department of southern France. The theft occurred during the night of August 31 to September 1, when a utility vehicle belonging to Enedis, a French electricity distribution company, was burgled in Puget-sur-Argens. The company reported that a specialized tool with a built-in geolocation chip was among the stolen items. This chip allowed investigators to track the tool’s location, leading them to La Seyne-sur-Mer, where the device appeared to have stopped moving. Local police assigned to the case found the equipment in the trunk of a small utility vehicle parked in the Berthe neighborhood. The Bac, or anti-crime unit, of La Seyne-sur-Mer then conducted discreet surveillance of the vehicle. On September 3, around 3 a.m., an individual was arrested while trying to unlock the vehicle with a kitchen knife. Ten minutes later, a second person arrived and claimed ownership of the vehicle, but was also arrested. During questioning, both individuals denied stealing the tools. One claimed he had purchased the set at a flea market. Both were brought before the Toulon prosecutor’s office on September 4 for an immediate hearing. The first person was acquitted of receiving stolen property but was convicted of carrying a category D weapon—classified as a potentially dangerous item—and received a three-month suspended prison sentence. The second individual was found guilty of receiving stolen property and sentenced to twelve months in prison with a detention order, as well as a three-year ban on residing in French territory.
