In Toulon, a father and his son were placed in police custody on Thursday, April 3, after tightening a hundred restaurants in three years. They managed to leave without paying the bill thanks to a well -established technique.
“Resto Basket” is the inaccessible concept that consists of one restaurant Without paying the bill. If many have already done it at least once in their lives, this concept has been transformed into a real scheme of a tandem that no one suspects.
It took six months of investigation to the police to finally identify this father-son duo, accused of having scammed a hundred restaurants for three years in the Toulon region. The 48 -year -old father, and his son, 18, were placed in police custody on Thursday, April 3 in Toulon.
For three years, they repeated the same operating mode to eat for free at restaurants that were not chosen randomly. In fact, the tandem was based on customer opinions for choosing the companies where the owners were described as friendly.

They then went to the targeted restaurant to eat there without counting. The addition generally climbed between 80 and 150 euros, which is actually huge for two people.

From then on, the son had to get money from the distributor, but returned all the time empty and claimed a technical problem.
He left his identity document before he declared it was stolen or lost
To secure the restaurateur in their good faith, the father then left his identity card or his important card. When he presented pretty well and he was very embarrassed by this courage, most restaurateurs were not vigilant anymore than that, especially as leaving his identity card was a guarantee of trust.
Then he promised to come back with the money to recover his identity document, except that the duo never returned and declared his identity papers as lost or stolen, and renovated them as if nothing had happened.

If the two are in police custody of “food philout”, the father is also accused of “provocation of a minor of committing an offense”.
Failure to have settled the additions of restaurants will now probably pay a much heavier addition: Justice. And this time there is no risk of him rolling.
