A 21-year-old young man residing in Gironde is suspected of being at the origin of several false bomb threats. On March 13, the Élie Vinet high school in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire in Charente was evacuated following a threatening email.
The accused would have sent bomb threat messages announcing explosions in the town halls of Le Mans and Tours. He would also have signed these threatening messages with the first name of a young man whom he has been harassing for years, according to a source close to the file.
