It was revealed in the Second Special District Court yesterday that the 25 robber suspects, several of the women, who were arrested by the French Police during Sunday and Monday had committed at least 15 armed robberies in both foreign settlements and at least one of the women detained told the judge tHat she had been firearm smuggler for the robber gang.
Since the crimes need much time to investigate before definite charges can te framed against each suspect individually, the court postponed the hearing to April 10 Most of the male suspects admitted responsibilities for several crimes but most of the detained women tried to exonerate themselves by stating that they were sweethearts of the arrested men and that they knew nothing about their activities in the criminal world. They were all detained, however.
The suspects, it will be recalled, were arrested as a result of a series of raids conducted by the French police in several hotels in the Concession. In the possession of the Cetained men two pist rounds of ammunition were found.
