HIBAPRESS – Follow-up
The judicial authorities in the suburbs of Fkih Ben Salah initiated an extensive investigation following the arrest of three people, one of whom is a minor, seventeen years old, on suspicion of their involvement in the robbery of a foreign tourist holding Japanese nationality under the threat of a bladed weapon.
The operation was carried out by elements of the Dar Ould Zidouh Royal Gendarmerie Territorial Center, today, Sunday, under the direct supervision of the head of the Fkih Ben Salah brigade, after receiving a notification stating that the tourist had been subjected to a criminal assault in disturbing circumstances. According to the available data, the victim, who works in the field of photography, was traveling on his motorcycle along the Oum Er-Rbia River in the territory of the Dar Ould Zidouh commune, before stopping to take some natural photos. At that time, he was surprised to be surrounded by three suspects who robbed him of his photography equipment under the threat of a bladed weapon, before fleeing towards an unknown destination, which caused a state of fear in the victim and prompted him to immediately notify the authorities. The reaction of the Royal Gendarmerie came quickly, as patrols launched intensive combing operations that resulted in identifying the identities of the suspects and arresting them successively in a short time. The accused have been kept under custody pending the judicial investigation, which is being conducted under the supervision of the competent Public Prosecution.
