An Intermarché displays the heads of the “thieves of the month” at the entrance to its store

Illegal

The photos of people caught in the act by the cameras are displayed on a sign placed at the entrance to the store, accompanied by the word: “Thieves of the month”. “We are confronted with mafia networks, in particular Georgians who loot our shelves”, justifies the manager Denis Savariaux. He says “to defend himself with his own means” and claims to be aware of the illegality of his approach. “Each time, it’s the same music, they know the law better than us. They operate between us, the Intermarché de Grenade (Haute-Garonne) and those of neighboring Tarn, they know how to do so that the case is closed without further action, ”laments the manager of the sign.

Displaying a “thieves of the month” sign is tantamount to taking the law into your own hands by flouting all the rights of defense of the customer involved. But the managers of this Intermarché are convinced that these cases are dismissed… https://t.co/0YbKjrMNeD
