Nearly two months following his escape during the attack by a heavily armed commando in Incarville, the repeat offender is still on the run.

The judicial police launched an appeal on Wednesday for witnesses to identify the cars used by Mohamed Amra and his accomplices to escape following the extremely violent ambush in mid-May at a toll booth in Eure, which caused the death of two prison officers.

The two guards were killed on May 14 in Incarville by a heavily armed and still wanted commando unit, during the escape of repeat offender Mohamed Amra while he was being transferred in a prison van.

Criminals “set fire on site to the black Peugeot 5008 vehicle with registration number EY-134-FY which had been used to attack the van, then they immediately left the scene in two vehicles: a white Audi S5 with registration number CZ-328-HK and a black BMW 4 series with registration number ED-398-RH”it is written in the call for witnesses.

Burning vehicles

The two cars were found burned out shortly followingwards in Houetteville then Gauville-la-Campagne, still in Eure. “The investigation might not determine in which other vehicles the criminals and the fugitive then fled.”writes the PJ.

Investigators call it this “any person present on May 14, 2024 between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., between Acquigny and Evreux, or more generally in Eure and Seine-Maritime, having witnessed suspicious or unusual events, or having seen the vehicles used by the criminals” to contact them by telephone [phone]) or by email ([e-mail]).
