It all started with a road check and a refusal to comply by a motorist, who fled, taking the A8 motorway (Brussels-Tournai), we learn from the deputy on duty at the Mons Prosecutor’s Office. Tournai, Virginie Namur.

Actively sought in Lessines, the two suspects (the driver and his passenger) traveling in a vehicle registered in France were finally able to be arrested by the Collines police zone.

”Good communication between the teams of the Brussels police, the helicopter and our services enabled the arrest of the two fugitives. No one was injured during this operation, which was carried out without violence,” the commander of the Collines police zone, Hugues Lebedelle, told us.

We understand that it was the Brussels Public Prosecutor’s Office which took charge of this case but we have not been able to gather more information.
