The La Courneuve police station, in Seine-Saint-Denis, was the target of projectiles by dozens of individuals on Sunday evening.
The La Courneuve police station (Seine-Saint-Denis) was the target of fireworks, projectiles and Molotov cocktails from several dozen individuals this Sunday evening. On certain videos relayed on social networks, we can see heavy gunfire in the direction of the police station and trash cans burning. Security is in place around the police station with reinforcements, and the police are deployed in the town. According to our information, six people were arrested.
The attack, brief but intense, was announced by vehement tags against the police. “They proclaimed a vendetta to follow up the events in Aubervilliers”assures Reda Belhadj, spokesperson for SGP Police FO Ile de France on BFMTV, who judges the act “premeditated”.
These incidents follow the death of the young man, Wanys R, who died on a scooter on Wednesday in a chase in Aubervilliers (Seine-Saint-Denis). Early Wednesday evening, a scooter ridden by two young men was pursued by the police after a refusal to control. A few moments later, in a city avenue, the two-wheeler was hit by a vehicle from an anti-crime brigade (BAC) called for reinforcement, which was coming in the opposite direction.
This Sunday, “all the anti-crime brigades of Seine Saint Denis and Paris were mobilized to disperse the individuals”, according to Reda Belhadj. According to our information, around midnight this Monday, calm was restored around the La Courneuve police station.
