French Police Are Robbed

Police in the French city of Lille have become the latest victims of crime.
Burglars have broken into a police investigation base - getting away with guns, drugs and police uniforms, sources say.

The audacious raid took place in Lille on Sunday night. French reports say police are too embarrassed to make a formal statement about the raid.

Shocked officers who arrived for work on Monday found that the raiders had used a blowtorch to cut through metals bars on the windows, said the French television news channel LCI.

The drugs stolen include heroin, cocaine and cannabis, say police sources.

One report said around a dozen handguns were taken, along with 10,000 euros in cash.

And police fear the stolen uniforms and armbands could be used to commit further crimes.

The building is used to store evidence seized during police raids, and is separate from Lille's main police station, making it harder to guard.

The building is run by the national police search and investigation unit.

Armoured cabinets

Reports on French television station LCI said that, after disconnecting the alarm system, the raiders managed to blow the doors off two armoured cabinets to reach their haul.

Olivier Dugelot, of the police officers' national union, confirmed that several police weapons were stolen as well as the drugs and cash.

An internal police inquiry has been opened alongside the criminal investigation.

Stupid comment. I'm sure the GIGN suck because they're french too...

WTF is a GIGN.

Special Forces

Well, I haven't heard of them so they must either do an excellent job like the Black Ops or they're a total farce. Considering they originated in france, it must be the latter.

the police were to busy parading in, i mean monitoring anti-war in Iraq protests to notice robbers stealing the uniforms off of them while they were wearing them.
 
Sources say the French police have vowed to be harsh on the raiders. "We will identify who is responsible for this, and we will take the unusually harsh measures of making them stand in the corner for a few hours without a bathroom break," promised one anonymous French police official.

But others say that doesn't go far enough and advocate even harsher penalties. "We must scold them angrily. That should really make these criminals think twice before committing such a serious crime again."

Excuse me. I didn't realize how much of an impact Counterstrike has had on your knowledge of secret forces. I guess video games can make even armchair generals 'experts' on such important topics.

Or maybe having been a member of the 2nd Ranger Battalion in the early eighties makes me a better counterstrike player....

My knowledge of GIGN or any other foreign Special Operations forces isn't much more than anyone else who goes out of there way to read up on such subjects, but you should realize there are some people who are more knowledgable or have experience over and above your own....

dumbass
