Chauffeurs de la Drôme

The Chauffeurs de la Drôme (The Heaters of Drôme) was a gang of four French criminals who were responsible for a wave of theft, torture, and murder in the department of Drôme in southeast France during the early years of the twentieth century.

Three were executed in September 1909; the fourth, captured later, was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour at the penal colony on Devil's Island, French Guiana, (tantamount to a death sentence, aka "Dry Guillotine"), and died there.
