Scrapy AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'css'

Question

I'm trying to scrape details from this page using Scrapy: link

This is the command I am using to pull the Title but it is throwing an error:

response.css('#intitule > div.nom_fugitif::text').extract_first()

This is the error:

---

AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) in ()

----> 1 response.css('#intitule > div.nom_fugitif::text').extract_first()

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'css'

It says the div has no CSS but I'm not sure what that means because it does have a CSS class.
