In Normandy an armed commando attacks a prison police van: one prisoner escapes and 2 officers die

The "Sparrowhawk plan" was launched in the area: 200 agents employed to find "Moscow" and its accomplices.

ROUEN (FRANCE) – Scenes of war in France, at the Incarville motorway toll booth, between Rouen and Evreux, in the Normandy region, following an armed assault on a prison police van, complete with escape and manhunt . At the moment there are hundreds of agents employed for research in the area. The toll from the attack was two officers killed and three seriously injured.

As all the main French newspapers, from Le Monde to Le Figarò, report on their websites and social channels, the attack on the van, which occurred in the morning, with a prisoner being transferred from Evreux prison on board, was carried out in a commando armed with assault rifles, immediately after a car-ram rammed the vehicle. The prisoner together with his accomplices then escaped and the GIGN leatherheads have been on their trail for hours. In fact, the “Sparviero” plan was launched, with the deployment of “several hundred agents” in the area and a helicopter, as announced by the Minister of the Interior, Gérald Darmanin.

The escaped prisoner is Mohamed Amra, known as “la Mouche”, or “the fly”, 30 years old, sentenced to 18 months in prison last Tuesday for aggravated thefts committed in supermarkets and shops in the suburb of Evreux, between August and October of 2019. The man was also convicted of an attempted murder in Saint-Etienne-de-Rouvray and is also under investigation in Marseille for a murder committed on 17 June 2022 in Aubagne, but had never been reported as a dangerous prisoner.< /p>

Qui est Mohamed Amra, dit «la Mouche», le détenu en fuite après el braquage d’un fourgon pénitentiaire ?

The man, aged 30 years, was condemned for the last 10 years. This is where you can take exams for enrollment and seizure.https://t.co/dTS5XSkMZN ↓
