On Sunday afternoon, police arrested three people at a Carrefour Express store in the Hals district of Sainte-Rochus, who, apparently, caused a sensation.

The trio was spotted with a firearm near a store in Dynastieplein on Sunday afternoon at about 2 p.m. The alarm was immediately raised, especially with the recent raid on the branch in mind. Three teams from the Zennevallei Police District rushed to the site and when the inspectors arrived, the three walked outside the store. They were immediately warned to lie on the ground and keep their hands visible.

During the security search that followed, a fake firearm, called a replica, was found on one of the men. Investigation and interrogation with minor Halle and adults Halle and Saint Peters Leo made it clear that they were unaware of any harm. They were eventually released again.

As if walking into a supermarket with a fake firearm wasn’t cool enough, this trio went the extra mile by choosing a store that was robbed a week ago. This was also the sixth robbery in a short time at a Carrefour store in the area, but it seems the news hasn’t reached the youngsters yet.
