Police officers from the anti-crime brigade (BAC), on patrol, spotted a suspicious gathering this Monday in the back of a van in the parking lot of the Aldi supermarket in Décines-Charpieu, a town located to the east of the metropolis of Lyon. On site, the police discovered a veritable stock of luxury items. Twenty-one Hugo Boss shirts, down jackets from the Jott brand, Dior and Chanel products, as well as leather goods, according to information from Le Progrès, confirmed to Le Figaro by a police source.

So many items whose brands correspond to those of the products stolen on October 17 during the looting in the city center of Lyon.
