CONT

Un détroussement en groupe, c'est quoi au juste? Simplement dit, c'est un vol en groupe – un vol avec violence – qui implique au moins deux suspects employant la force (ou menaçant d'y recourir) aux dépens d'une victime afin de lui dérober ses biens. Les détroussements en groupe sont parmi les crimes les plus aléatoires auxquels la police fait affaire et parmi les plus compliqués à résoudre.
