For more than two weeks, the “omelette gang” has been attacking passers-by in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (Val-de-Marne) by throwing eggs and potatoes at them, according to the details mentioned by The Parisian.
The “omelet gang” so called following the comment of a surfer drives around town with a gray or beige vehicle, and would have already raged last summer. Still according to our colleagues, the throwing of eggs and potatoes would have happened several times in recent days and the victims of the gang would be mainly women.
“A real sexist and cowardly connotation”
A dozen testimonies were collected on Facebook, thanks to the companion of one of the victims who launched a call for testimonies on a private group. The man denounces “attacks” which have “a real sexist and cowardly connotation”. The victims of the “omelette gang” as well as certain inhabitants of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés evoke “psychological consequences, anxiety while walking”. Some fear “an escalation in the size of the objects thrown away”.
According to the daily, several of them would like to file a complaint “in the coming days”. The city’s surveillance cameras can then be consulted in order to identify the vehicle described very precisely by the victims.
