Always seems to be a French national of North African origin, apart from from the two Brits who towed the entire ATM machine out of the wall.....dear oh dear.

[1] Are you saying that this guy is a French national from N Africa ?

At least he's got a french beard.

Wonder if he had any french letters on him?

I can't imagine he'll be banged-up for long for fraud - maybe a hefty fine, compensation to the victims and then deported back to la belle Francais ? bon voyage 'Monsieur Jeremy'

First time they catch one who really looks like a French without any other origin, I was wondering if they still exist...
