Using your credit card for shopping is usual nowadays, but it isn't usually asked for during a burglary. But in one of those "incompetent criminal" stories that is what enabled gendarmes in Ariege to dismantle a network of burglars.
During a robbery of an agricultural store one of the perpetrators "forgot" his credit card. Grateful gendarmes soon had him under arrest and the capture of his six accomplices soon followed. Searches of their premises revealed an Ali baba's cave of stolen goods, coming from over 30 burglaries.
The seven will appear in court in January
